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
- 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.
- PUNCTUATE CORRECTLY.
- I have used end punctuation correctly, meaning all sentences end in . / ! / ?
