Information - Step Five: Revise
Graphic Organizer/Worksheet
During the fifth step of the Writing Editorials unit, students add details and revise their texts for persuasiveness, clarity of meaning and point of view. They collaborate with peers to ensure that their written work conveys meaningful ideas and inspires readers to take action and/or agree with the author’s opinion.
Students learn how to revise their writing for clarity of meaning. They craft transitions between the paragraphs of their editorials that rephrase their opinion statements and clearly delineate their supporting arguments.
After learning to distinguish between first, second and third-person points of view, students revise their editorial drafts to use point of view effectively.
Students learn how hyperlinks can make their editorials more informative and persuasive by giving readers access to additional evidence. Students add the relevant URLs to appropriate places in their drafts.
