Revise Writing to Improve Word Choice

CCSS ELA: W.7.5

W.7.5 With some guidance and support from peers and adults, develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach, focusing on how well purpose and audience have been addressed. (Editing for conventions should demonstrate command of Language standards 1-3 up to and including grade 7 here.)

TEKS ELA: 7(10)(C)

7(10)(C) Revise drafts for clarity, development, organization, style, word choice, and sentence variety.

This writing strategies lesson focuses on revising writing to improve word choice. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the question and paragraph, looking for the words to be revised. Then, students replace the word with a more precise word from the word bank and re-read the sentence in the paragraph with the new, more precise word. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.
