Rubric and Revision

Today's Goal: Revisit your stories to make improvements and revise, as well as finishing your dialogue escape room.

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.6.5
With some guidance and support from peers and adults, develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach.

The Plan:

1. Read
2. Dialogue Escape Room (can you finish? If you do, can you support your peers?)
3. REVISION! We'll use an AVID strategy called the TEASE method, as well as the rubric.

TEASE Method of Revision

You will need:

• a pencil
• the TEASE handout
• the rubric (on the back of the handout)

Working in groups of three, you will complete the following steps:

1. Read your story out loud to your group. You will find success if you "Share" it with them as well, so they can look at it while you are reading.
2. Using the rubric, ask your peers for two areas from the rubric that you might be able to improve. (Target)
3. Create two goals for revision (Establish priorities)
4. Create steps for how you are going to achieve those goals (Action)
5. Develop questions for how you can seek support for that process (Seek support)
6. Write down why making these revisions will make your writing stronger (Explain)

This is a GROUP effort. You will write down your priorities on your own paper, but you are there to help your peers with this task.

Reminders/Homework:

• Use your TEASE Action Plan to add more detail to your story or ask for support in improvement. Keep going!
• READ SOMETHING.
