Chapter four reminded me of the WHERETO design that we are implementing in our lesson plans. I found that revising is extremely important to creating your best work, and many students truly appreciate teachers who allow revisions, require rough drafts, and write helpful comments (even if they are negative) on student work.
This is extremely important to the field I am going into, because much of social studies is complex and confusing. Allowing for revisions would give students the opportunity to present their best product while at the same time allowing students who do not fully understand the new material a chance to revisit it and strengthen their learning. I always hated rough drafts in high school, mostly because I am strong in linguistic intelligence and could type out a good essay in one try. However, in college, both as an educator and learner, I realize the value that revisions have on both student learning and self-esteem.
