How do you use a color code to revise?

Students give each part of the draft its own color: thesis, evidence, transitions and domain words. Then they read the marks to see what is missing, such as a body paragraph with no evidence. Each Not yet answer gets a planned change.

Do the revising worksheets have answer keys?

Trim Irrelevant Details From a Personal Narrative has an answer key. The color code revision guide is used with each student's own draft, so it has no key.
