Stronger Stories Revision Workshop

Read the county-fair story and complete the revision challenges. Look for changes that make events clearer, details more vivid, and the narrator’s voice stronger. For open-ended writing, answers will vary; use the model answers as examples.

Read the draft

The Red Ribbon Jamal went to the county fair with his cousin Andre. They saw a contest. Jamal made a paper airplane and it was good. He threw it. It went far but then it landed in a bucket. People looked. Jamal felt nervous. Andre said, “That was great.” Jamal won a ribbon. He was happy.

1.In “The Red Ribbon,” identify one detail or event worth keeping in a revision. Explain how it could help interest the reader.

2.Which revision would most clearly help readers picture Jamal’s airplane contest?

Add precise details about how Jamal made and launched the airplane.
Repeat that Jamal went to the fair.
Remove Andre from the story.
Tell readers the contest was good.

3.Number these events from 1 to 4 in the order they happen in the draft: Jamal wins a ribbon; Jamal throws his airplane; Jamal and Andre arrive at the fair; the airplane lands in a bucket.

4.Replace “went” in “It went far” with a more precise verb that helps readers imagine the airplane’s movement. Then explain the effect of your choice.

5.Rewrite “Jamal felt nervous” by showing his nervousness through an action or body clue. Keep the event at the county fair.

6.Rewrite Andre’s line, “That was great,” so it sounds specific to the airplane landing in a bucket. Use correct quotation marks and punctuation.

7.Write one sentence that adds a sound or sight from the fair during the airplane contest. Make the detail fit the scene.

8.Revise “The Red Ribbon” in 4–6 sentences. Keep its main events, and add a transition, a precise verb, a sensory detail, meaningful dialogue, and an action that shows a feeling.

9.Name two changes you made in your revised paragraph. For each change, explain how it helps the reader understand or experience the story.
