A useful revision goal names a change you can inspect in the draft. Choose the action that addresses the stated need. More words or harder vocabulary do not automatically make a story better.

Worked example

Make It Your Own

Optional theme: a place that changes overnight. Draft a tiny scene, ask an adult or peer one specific question, and choose one revision goal. Show the before and after versions on paper. You may draw, write or tell your idea. Use invented characters and places; no personal information or upload is needed. This activity is not scored.

Reflect on your choices

  • Connect the edit to an observable need in the draft.
  • Explain one intentional choice and one possible alternative.
  • There is no required style or single correct creative response.
