Narrative -Ice Palace by Robert Swindells Editing Writing Process - for Greater Depth, and thinking about audience, purpose and effect.
Do you want to help your pupils to edit a piece of writing? Do you want them to revise their work? Why not show them this video and teach them to edit in small steps?
1. Ask questions about your writing- (how can I make it more effective and interesting for the reader)?
2. Add (Tier 2 vocabulary).
3. Takeaway (words or phrases).
4. Replace (improved sentence structure, phrases, adverbs, preposition, vocabulary).
5. Read aloud (listen to the rhythm and sound of the text).
6. Peer Assess (let your partner read your work and give you feedback).
7. Use a redraft slip to re-write the extract.
This video will help the pupils to redraft their work and think about the audience and purpose of writing - 'to entertain and engage.'
Suitable for all primary children - allthough it was targeted at Year 3 and above.
Children are advised to use a slip to redraft over their original piece of work. The redrafted piece is then used like a flap over the original text to show the improvements that have been made. The video shows a proces for editing that is suitable for improving all genre types, (fiction and non- fiction).
