What You Will Do

At 826, we believe that the art of writing is found in the revision stage. Once a student reaches this step, they have emptied their minds and hearts onto the page, and now they can begin to sift through their work and decide what is most important to them. This guide provides strategies for teaching revision, ideas for rethinking the popular ARMS strategy, and suggestions for peer review.

The resource is available for download below.
