Please help me create a graphic organizer that helps teach how to Write/Revise Informational Texts, for the state FIAB test. The test will be for a 7th grade ELA class. Give me easy step by step guides to show them what to look for and any hacks that can help them. Please make it easy for you to grade when I am ready and something I can easily share with the students as a link. Thank you.

This learning resource, titled 'Mastering the Art of Revision,' focuses on developing skills to revise informational texts for clarity, coherence, and evidence-based support. The primary learning objective is to utilize a step-by-step graphic organizer along with the REVISE mnemonic to improve writing. The resource emphasizes the importance of identifying irrelevant sentences, enhancing transitions, and ensuring the overall flow and logic of the text. Through examples and guided practice, students learn to spot off-topic information and select appropriate transition words to enhance the quality of their writing. There are specific sections for group practice, individual work, and metacognitive reflection, allowing for self-assessment of confidence in revision skills. The resource culminates in an exit ticket to reinforce the concepts learned.
