Ratiocination & Revision or Clues on the Written Draft by Joyce Armonstrong Caroll

7/17/07

Her 10 clues for coding are an excellent way to stablish a clear expectation of what they are supposed to look for while revising. They are not just changing a word but they are decoding the clues and in doing this they understand the real purpose for revising. I will definetely use this in my classroom. I know that my students will be pretty excited if I tell them ok, take out a piece that you'd like to publish but today we are going to start a game that will play during the year every time we wish to revise, we'll play detectives!!! I can imagine the puzzled look in their faces but I know they'll absolutely love it.
