We have so stressed that you've got to write a great draft in a timed setting
that we have completely miscommunicated to kids what it means to be a good writer.
They think that, if you have to revise, that you're a bad writer.
So, I have to really focus with them.
I think one of the most important things we have to teach kids before they'll even be open to the idea
of revision is that if you revise, you are a GOOD writer.
