I love the links to the sites you posted. I have been looking for new ways to present writing and even editing to my class. This information was valuable to me as I have been teaching the six traits of writing in my class. We are working on writing essays and making proper transitions. My studnets seem to be doing better with that as we are heading into 4th quarter. Teaching my students how to edit, however, has been a challenge. I specifically liked that the link not only gave teachers information but also provided kid friendly rubrics that they can use as a guide. Do you have any suggestions (other than what was presented in the link) that you use in the classroom?
Thanks for sharing!
