Action Research Revisions

This week, I needed to read comments on my action research and have a conference with my site supervisor.  I made revisions to my plan and updated the plan on the blog.  I felt that my research plan was validated by the comments left on the blog.  Thank you Kim and Tfitzger!  I realize that the areas of editing and revising each deserve their own units.  I am planning on creating a unit on mechanics and a unit on revising.  I know that this will be difficult to fit in with an already jam packed curriculum, so I would like to create a systematic way of addressing these areas that will take roughly ten minutes a day.  I think that by doing this, it will be easier to implement the additional instruction.  I have begin reading Mechanically Inclined: Building Grammar, Usage, and Style into Writer's Workshop, by Jeff Anderson.  It is proving to be an invaluable resource!!
