Review these guidelines for working together in a writing group. Then demonstrate revising with a partner with this activity:
- Have a volunteer read aloud a first draft. (Display the first draft for the rest of the class.)
- Identify parts you like and ask questions about parts that might need work.
- Work together to find ways to improve the text.
You might also complete either of the response sheets from pages 42-43 to show students how written responses work.
