Additionally, the high school environment often quells student revision. Many teachers lack writing training, and therefore struggle to give direction to students. However, as the author of this article discovered, incorporating and teaching revision strategies is manageable. If teachers can start teaching revision strategies, and change the practices that hamper the writing process, student writing can only improve. Learning how to revise is an important and necessary skill for all writers, no matter their level or ability.  \n“Do I really have to do a good copy? My handwriting is really neat in this one.” How many times do teachers hear similar types of student comments? An even more troubling thought is where the student received the idea that a good copy simply meant more legible handwriting. Students usually understand the necessity for editing because they want to catch their spelling, grammar and capitalization mistakes. However, revision – the adding, subtracting, andreorganizing of ideas – is a difficult concept to teach and the process to which students are often the most resistant.  \nMany ineffective practices are currently employed in high school classrooms, which actually undermine the writing process. Part of the problem is the need for teachers to record copious marks in high school, and cover a vast curriculum. This need for marks, combined with a lack of training in teaching writing (Kolling, 2002), can result in a hurried or often sparse approach to revision. For effective revision to take place, high school teachers must scrutinize their role in terms of the feedback that they give to students. Teachers must teach students revision strategies. Additionally, peer evaluation plays a fundamental role in the revision process, and teachers need to experiment with different models, even if the implementation can prove challenging. Finally, teachers need to seek out new audiences for their student writers, in order to give them a reason for writing, beyond the threat of grades. In effect, the goal is to create a flexible system that encourages writing as a process delivered by teachers who equip students with strategies to evaluate and improve their own writing.  \nThe Teacher’s Role  \nWriting anxiety’s effects upon student achievement are well-documented (Thompson, 1980) . Revision can often be the spot where many writers either surrender, hoping to finish the piece as quickly as possible, or become open to the idea of developing a stronger piece. Teachers can be an important variable in this decision. Beginning writers, and even the more experienced, resist revision because they interpret it as meaning they have not done it correctly the first time (Kolling, 2002) . Students “like it the way it is”(Kindzierski, 2009) and, as teachers, we must try to remember the frustrations of revision: a lengthy and messy process. Student writers may feel protective of their first draft, and be resistant to any modifications or omissions. If teachers are more sensitive to the messages that they send to students (usually via written feedback), it may ease anxiety, which in turn could produce a stronger piece.  \nTime is an essential ingredient in the writing process. Teachers, and the high school system, need to allow the space and time for revision to happen. Many teachers are under constraints to get the product finished and move on to the next assignment. Timed essays, which are often a  \nconstant in high school classrooms, do not fit well within the structure of the writing process (Worden, 2009) . One only needs to scan literature on Writer’s Workshop instruction to see that many of the ideas are directed at elementary or middle school (Graves et al. , 1998) . Perhaps this middle school focus is because middle school is perceiv","cbCaisCiDSIUgDzk","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisCiDSIUgDzk","pdf",238119,"English","# Abstract\n# The Teacher’s Role\n## Writing anxiety and student resistance\n## Time and classroom constraints\n# Changing Teacher Feedback\n## Focusing feedback and building confidence","[{\"question\":\"Why do many high school students resist revising their writing?\",\"answer\":\"Students often interpret revision as evidence they did not write correctly the first time, and they may feel protective of their first draft.
