The Revision Toolbox: Teaching Techniques That Work by Georgia Heard

frankisib's review against another edition

5.0

I loved the first edition of this book in 2002. I loved this one just as much. It was exactly what I needed as I think ahead to the coming year in Writing Workshop. The focus on revision as something bigger than what kids often think it is is powerful. The lesson ideas and conference notes specific to revision strategies are so helpful. And I love the addition of ideas for the CCSS units of study-narrative, informational, persuasive. This is a quick read and really helped me get my head around how to introduce and keep energy around revision this year. I want to revisit Kate Messner's book Real Revision again too as these two work so well together!
