Amia is ready to revise her informational piece about the Battle of Gettysburg.

Her first step is to reread what she has written over the last few lessons.

​

Amia has a few ideas on how to revise her piece. Press through the screens below to explore how Amia uses the ARMS checklist to improve her informational writing.

​

Amia realizes that her introductory sentences could be more specific to the information in her writing. Since her writing is not focused on the reasons the war began, she changes part of her sentence to reflect the main ideas of her writing.

She drew a line through the text that she wanted to change and wrote her new words in their place.
