**Handouts from Our Presentation**
//The Reviser's Toolbox// contains a huge selection of revising activities to do with a class. It is a must have for any instructor of writing to have. The activity that we chose to include with our presentation was the Dig A Potato activity. There were literally too many activities to choose from, so we chose the very first one in the book. It is about creating effective lead sentences that will arouse questions from the readers.
