Revising and Editing Strategies

Mr. Graham introduces strategies for revising and editing multiple-choice questions. He emphasizes the importance of evaluating each answer choice and understanding the revising goal. Revising questions may have multiple good answers, requiring students to choose the best one. Editing questions have one correct answer, and students should use process of elimination to identify it.
