Today, we edited our own paragraphs using the hard and easy editing criteria. You will also find these criteria (under different categories) on your 'Literary Must-Haves' Sheet.
Using all of this year's handouts, aim for the least number of errors possible.
If you cite incorrectly or forget to incorporate a quotation, you will need to re-do the paragraph.
You must follow the criteria.

Bring the good copy (double-spaced) to class Monday.

We had our first vocabulary quiz today.

This weekend give some thought to your literacy project. How would you like to promote reading or writing in your school, neighbourhood or community?

Monday, you will need to commit to a project and create time-lines for completion of the project.
You will be presenting your experiences to the class in December.

Have a great weekend.
