Writing - Revising Strategy:
Deleting Phrases
Yesterday, we wrote narrative
poems about a problem and
creative solution.
Today we will revise to make
sure our narrative poems have
the parts they should have.
Writing - Revising Strategy:
Deleting Phrases
We need to make sure we wrote
just what readers need to
imagine the short story clearly.
We can add or take out details in
sentences. Sometimes we need
to take out phrases.
Revising Tips:
1. Make sure your poem tells
a story in lines that are easy
to read. Lines can end with
words that rhyme.
2. Take out phrases that are
not important ideas or repeat
something you already wrote.
Quick Write for Fluency
Talk: Identify a phrase that should
be taken out and tell why.....
Eddy wanted a new kind of
toy different from... his other
toys. Keezie needed a bug
sunhat, maybe a red one.
