  8. How to teach this process? OPTION 1: First, show students how revision can be broken down into stages (Elaboration and Craft). OPTION 2: Show students how to break down process into stages corresponding to the rubric/checklist.

  9. OPTION 2: Begin with Focused Peer Revision • Teach mini-lessons on each of the rubric items (big to small). • Have peers analyze each others’ papers through these lenses. • Eventually students learn to more objectively view their own papers through these same lenses.

  10. FINAL OBJECTIVE? Students are empowered with skills to express their own ideas coherently and forcefully.
