Abstract
This teacher research investigation focused on the writing and revision practices of sixth grade students in a middle school setting, one where students would write, revise, reflect on their work, receive feedback, and then students would engage in self-evaluation. Throughout this year-long investigation, students had the opportunity to choose the work they wanted to write and revise, and by practicing specific revision skills, and having the opportunity to receive feedback on their writing and revision, students were able to grow as writers. Students improved their writing, but students were also able to critically examine how and why they were making specific choices as writers, critically examining their development as individual writers.
