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.
