Writing Workshop


Lesson:
Turned in "Paula" poem
Had second rough draft stamped
If you were absent make sure you turn these in and get a stamp next class.
Practiced grading CIM. If you want more practice go to:

Try grading an example. See how the state grades the imaginative papers.

In class we did peer editing on a peer edit sheet.
The sheets can be found at the "Assignments" link. If you were absent, you find three "trustworthy" people to read your story. This means adults with at least high school educations, classmates, or other students who have gone through this program.
The person grading will fill out the peer edit sheet for one of these categories:
Setting/ Style and Mechanics
Plot with conflict
Characters

Peer editors are allowed to write directly on this draft. They should ask questions to the writer, fix grammar, show where they are confused. Please have them do this clearly and neatly.

The peer edit forms are due, along with all drafts, self edits, and planning sheets next class.

Homework:
Final draft of travel story
