A favorite quote on...You are such a great teacher!<br /><br />A favorite quote on revision...<br />"If a teacher told me to revise, I thought that meant my writing was a broken-down car that needed to go to the repair shop. I felt insulted. I didn't realize the teacher was saying, "Make it shine. It's worth it." Now I see revision as a beautiful word of hope. It's a new vision of something. It means you don't have to be perfect the first time. What a relief!" - Naomi Shihab NyeLoraleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10196420351567403826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692381227518715081.post-65430762650120885052015-03-11T06:13:55.296-04:002015-03-11T06:13:55.296-04:00Love this story Leigh Anne.

I think we both felt comfortable enough to have the courage to share our honest thoughts. I read it one way, you meant it another way. A great writing sample to share with your students about being bold to publicly share and then receive feedback to improve or clarify your message.

Revision is a key issue for so many. I find that students will revise more freely when using computers. We all have some that think they're done the first time.
