Craft Book Discussion

Hi Ladies! Here is my suggested outline of what we do for the Craft book:

1. Introduce book/author. Discuss organization of text (overview of three levels, involvement of real literature) 2. Discuss writing "characteristics" at each level. 3. Do Skit of 3rd grade level revision lesson--3 students, 1 teacher (I think Melissa may have some "real" writing we can use). Teacher leads the students in cutting & taping revisions to their draft. Is there a real literature piece we can use in this lesson? 4. Discuss revision at the lower levels 5. Discuss revision at the upper level 6. Do individual presentations of recommended texts.
