Common Core Standards
College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards for Speaking and Listening
Speaking and Listening W.5.5
With guidance and support from peers and adults, develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach. (Editing for conventions should demonstrate command of Language standards 1-3 up to and including grade 5 here.)
With this standard, students will be challenged to edit an existing piece of writing through self and peer reviews. This can take the form of simple edits, significant rewrites, or a from-the-ground-up radical revision, but the important part is that students learn how to critically analyze their own work and subsequently adjust it, as well as integrate the criticism of others in a meaningful way.
