Revision in the Writing Workshop

Revision must be made a visual tool for the young writer in a writing workshop. I use this story from my early years and ask the students to confer with me. As they point to my writing and ask questions I take notes. After the teacher / student conference I think out loud about what the students said. I end up showing them in the next writing workshop what came from our content conference. I use four colors with intentionality to SHOW the kids the revision that has taken place over three readings and rewritings.
