Description
Do your students think of the revision process as a combo of spellcheck and Grammarly? Tend to peer edit by scrawling a compliment and circling two sentences that are missing periods? Yeah, they're not alone. Honestly, I didn't really get the revision process as a student either. It sort of felt like I wrote the paper I was going to turn it in, then I'd "polish" it a little by fixing any tiny surface mistakes so I could turn it in. Students are busy people, juggling family, friends, sports, classes, jobs, the college admissions process, and a complicated world of digital social life that we probably only barely understand. So unless we can really spell out the revision process for them, they're likely to think the pretty good paper they felt they wrote in the first place is pretty good enough to turn in. That's why today on the podcast I'm going to offer you four blueprint options for helping them do better. Choose the one you love, or try all four. Before we get started, I want you to know that I’ll be running Camp Creative, The Easiest Roadmap to Student Podcasting, in June. Inside this (free) and fun PD, you’ll get access to the best models, easiest tech, and complete curriculum to get you and your students started with podcast projects. Everything arrives by email, so even if you’re busy the week of June 10-14, you can catch up whenever you get a chance. It just takes 10 minutes a day to go through the materials Links Mentioned: Sign up for Camp Creative Here: https://sparkcreativity.kartra.com/page/camppodcasting2024 Snag your Copy of the Revision Challenge Cards: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/125AkbMNA_52WdNxbF2ryvc44UUOi5WOwkFF6CG45BvI/copy Grab the Peer Editing Guides: https://nowsparkcreativity.com/2018/11/the-ela-teachers-quick-guide-to.html Go Further: Explore alllll the Episodes of The Spark Creativity Teacher Podcast.
