Acronym for Revising and Editing

I found this acronym to help a writer to revise and edit their piece of writing. This can be very useful to students in assisting them to ecome better writers.

The Writing Process Session 2 (Revising and Editing)

Welcome back colleagues, we hope that you have been doing fine. This new blog is to tell you about our second session of writing with Mrs. Polius. During this session we continued with the writing process this time moving into step three of the writing process. In step three Mrs Polius Revised and Edited the paragraph that she wrote for us as a sample. Together we were able to revise the paragraph by adding and removing ideas to make the story more cohesive. At the end of the revising stage the lecturer decided to edit one time since we had some more time. Editing is the fourth stage of the writing process.

A First Impression is a Lasting Impression

I would like to say that I am impressed with the way Miss Polius has decided to go about teaching us the writing process. It has opened my eyes and it gave me a clearer insight as to how I can instill good writing skills in my students. I am sure my other colleagues can concur with me. Miss Polius keep up the good work. You have always intrigued me and I want to be as good as you in teaching Language Arts.

Interesting Teaching Aid

We found this very intersting teaching aid that incorporates reading and writing. It can be very useful in the classroom in order to show students the connections between reading and writing, to encourage students to participate in additional reading and writing and to get students to keep track of their routine for reading and writing. Feel free to implement in your classrooms and to modify it to suit your students needs.

The Writing Process Session 1

We have been very elated by our lecturer Mrs Polius over the past few LIT102 sessions as she delicately disect the writing process. We have completely changed our view about writing as we thought that writing was just one long process. Contrary to our believe, we learnt that the writing process consist of many small steps. At each step there are tasks broken up that should be ocmpletely. The steps of the writing process can be seen below. 

Mrs. Polius commenced the session by getting all of us into the prewritng process. She asked us to think about a topic so that we can brain storm and plan for. we then moved on to the drafting stage where we were asked to put our thoughts on paper. Miss polius asked us to choose a fruit and write how it feels, how it smells, how it sounds, how it looks. After which some of my colleagues were invited to share what they had about their favourite fruit. The session ended on a high note and most of my colleagues including my group members left the session with a full understanding of how to go about teaching the writing process to students in the future.
