This writing strategies lesson focuses on revising writing to improve organization of ideas between paragraphs. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read a passage, noticing the underlined repeated words or ideas. Then, using synonyms and transitions, students improve the organization and flow of the text through revising. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.
