ALL STUDENTS MUST HAVE THEIR EDITED DRAFTS IN CLASS MONDAY FOR PEER EDITING. IF YOU MISSED FRIDAY'S CLASS, YOU MISSED 65 MINUTES OF WRITING TIME IN THE LAB. YOU NEED TO MAKE UP THIS TIME OVER THE WEEKEND. THANK YOU.
Once you finish the draft, you need to edit it. Print it out. Take our your Pigman essay and check to ensure that you are not making the same mistakes. Making the same mistakes means you will not do well as I am looking for improvement here and I know you are too.
Check yesterday's blog for ideas for editing.
Also, use the green checklists and examples you have in your notebook from the Pigman essay.
I'm looking for improved writing style: sentence variety, formal vocabulary, scintillating synonyms, excellent transitions, proper topic sentences in each body paragraph that house ALL the topics to come and ensure you conclude well. Add a transition sentence between Body 1 and 2 and Body 2 and 3.
Good luck.
Peer editing Monday.
GOOD COPY IS DUE TUESDAY.
WEDNESDAY, DEC. 15 YOU AND YOUR GROUP PRESENT YOUR LITERACY PROJECT EVALUATIONS. WE WROTE DOWN ALL THE CRITERIA FOR THESE PRESENTATIONS. I'm looking forward to reading them.
