There's a scholastic book, Great Genre Writing Lessons by Heather Clayton, that takes you through the process steps of writing with easy to use writing lesson plans and reproducible things. You teach the kids to prewrite, draft, etc. The revising and editing lessons include such things as students following a checklist that is specific - eg. Put a dot under the first word in each sentence and see that these words are capitalized, circle at least three words with questionable spelling and look up in dictionary, draw a box around the punctuation at the end of each sentence and check to see if appropriate, underline three adjectives and replace with juivy synonyms, etc. The ideas in this book have helped me considerably.
