How can adolescent writers be guided to revisit their work, to identify the weaknesses in their writing drafts, and revise—making their pieces stronger and more effective?

This instructional guide, with its more than 30 flexible, classroom-tested strategies, demonstrates these practices and more:Frontloading (planning, rehearsing, and conversing before writing)Peer conferencing as part of a writers′ workshopUsing technology to write, collaborate, and revise in and out of the classroomModeling effective revision techniques as writers and teachers of writingTeachers will turn again and again to this easy-to-use resource, with its clear explanations of strategies correlated to the 6 Traits of Effective Writing, examples of "before-and-after" student work, and thoughtful quotes from published writers about their own writing and revision processes.
