Revising, (Improving), and Editing
- Goals Today:
- Finish work from Friday; you may have to re-read those directions.
- Share your Google doc with a few classmates; receive feedback from others, give feedback.
- Do a word count on your document. Less than 600 is probably too short, more than 1,200 is probably too long. Talk to Ms. Collopy for clarification.
- Print at least one copy to have your parents read/ use for LA tomorrow.
When asking for and giving feedback to others:
- Read the entire essay/story/letter.
- Give the author ideas about paragraphs that need more details, elaboration, examples, etc.
- When giving feedback about the personal narrative and the creative short story, give ideas on places for more dialogue and imagery.
- Give feedback on sentence fluency and variety.
- Offer ideas for improving the writing.
- Give all feedback on the Google doc, not by yelling across the room.
Homework - Monday, November 15, 2010-
- *Print a copy of your writing. It might be easier to copy and paste your document into Word; save it in Word; print to MSLABHP4200.
- Ask a parent or another adult (older siblings are fine) to read your essay/story/letter. Ask them to read it at least once and give you feedback on your ideas, sentence fluency, word choice, creativity, etc. Have them help you find CUPS errors too.
