Grade 5 students revise poorly structured paragraphs by identifying the best text structure, then applying it through restructured sentences and added transitions. Multiple-choice items model decisions about choosing problem-solution, compare-contrast, chronological, or cause-effect structure. Fill-in items reinforce revision vocabulary such as restructure, transition, and coherence so Grade 5 writers can move beyond surface edits and produce truly reorganized, coherent informational paragraphs.
