    This document provides the lesson plan for a 5th grade writing workshop on revision and editing. The goal is for students to polish their compare and contrast rough drafts with their writing partners. They will use task cards focusing on revising (ARMS: adding, removing, moving, and substituting words) and editing (CUPS: capitalization, grammar/usage, punctuation, and spelling). Students will take turns being a "power partner" to give good suggestions for improving each other's writing.
