Today’s  Agenda:

Practice using your ARMS for Revision
See canvas for the practice paragraph under the page "Using your ARMS for Revision." 

Apply ARMS:
Do 2 of the following:

Add:
·      Put a star somewhere you could add detail

Remove:
·      Put a line through an unnecessary detail

Move around:
·      Circle something that might be better if moved somewhere else. Draw an arrow to where it should go

Substitute:
·      Find a word or words that aren’t very strong. Substitute better words in their place by writing them in the margin


Use your ARMS on Your Own Chapter
