Playdough...with a point!

Today in language arts we practiced an editing strategy...with playdough instead of words. After "brainstorming" several ideas, students created a "rough draft." Then we applied the A.R.M.S. strategy to enhance their creations: add, remove, move, substitute. Finally students created a "final draft" and "published" their creations. Here are a few of them.

Next,we'll apply this technique to the essays they've written.
