Precision can improve action verbs, sensory detail, dialogue attribution or time connections. Revision should clarify meaning without adding an unsupported event.

Compare the stated before and after wording. Identify exactly what became clearer.

Original worked input: Original excerpt C: Draft: Jo went back, exhausted. Revision: Jo trudged back, exhausted. The task is to name a word revision’s effect. The answer is “more precise action”. Evidence: Draft: Jo went back, exhausted. Revision: Jo trudged back, exhausted. Reasoning: more precise action is supported because a specific movement verb adds the supplied manner without changing the actor. A vivid replacement must still fit the event.

1. Read the supplied worked case and identify the part named in this lesson. An adult can model unfamiliar words.
2. Compare the stated before and after wording. Identify exactly what became clearer.
3. Check the worked solution: more precise action. Evidence: Draft: Jo went back, exhausted. Revision: Jo trudged back, exhausted. Reasoning: more precise action is supported because a specific movement verb adds the supplied manner without changing the actor. A vivid replacement must still fit the event.
4. Use the new primary and practice cases. Give a reason from the actual words before checking the feedback.

Changed-input task: Original excerpt C: Draft: Come here. Revision: Come here, Lea called from the stairs. Give an evidence-based answer before looking at the model. Expected reasoning: Evidence: Draft: Come here. Revision: Come here, Lea called from the stairs. Reasoning: clearer speaker attribution is supported because a speaker tag resolves who spoke. A vivid replacement must still fit the event. Then write a brief alternative sentence, paragraph, source note or scene that demonstrates the same operation; label new fictional details and preserve source limits.
