6. Revise: Adding Figurative Language to My Draft

• Revising literally means seeing again. 
• When we revise, we improve big-picture things in our writing, like our ideas and the way they connect to one another.
• We don't worry about the nitty-gritty details like capital letters and punctuation (that is editing).
• Today, we will revise specifically for figurative language: adding similes, metaphors, hyperboles, and/or personification to your writing
• mild:  add one simile or one metaphor to your writing
• medium:  add one simile and one metaphor to your writing
• spicy!  add one simile, one metaphor, and one hyperbole or example of personification

7. Edit Letter for CUPS (Capitalization/Usage/Punctuation/Spelling): Check to make sure...

• FORMAT MATTERS.
• I have formatted my writing as a vignette.
• I have written in complete sentences.
• I have indented all paragraphs with the TAB key.
• There is a space after each period, comma, and question mark.
• CAPITALIZATION COUNTS.
• I have capitalized the first word of each sentence.
• I have capitalized the word I every time.
• I have capitalized all proper nouns: specific people, places, things, and dates.
• SPELL WELL.
• I have used the correct forms of there/their/they're, your/you're, and to/two/too.
• I have correctly spelled my name.
• There are no other word (besides my name) with a red squiggly line underneath.
