Using the Shadow Puppet iPad app, students
in Ms. Montgomery's fourth-grade class were given two paragraphs containing many errors (capitalization, punctuation,
spelling, and wording). They worked in pairs, and their job was to revise and
edit these two paragraphs. They had to show the error and explain why it was
wrong and how to correct it.
This is a
strategy they use almost daily in the classroom to prepare and practice their
revise and editing skills. These are important skills to fourth graders, as
they are really beginning to learn how to revise and edit their own
compositions.
