Peer Editing/Revision!

Today's Goal: Share your writing with at least two other people, with the goal in mind that you will get support from your peers as you begin to make your draft into a fully-formed essay

The Agenda:

1. Read!
2. Share your essay with your partner by using our new "Writing Group Procedures."
3. Use your conversations to begin to make revisions to your document based on suggestions/ideas from your group.
4. Reflect a little bit in your English Journal.

Here is your prompt for your English Journal (We'll do this in the last 5-10 minutes of class). I expect sincere answers:

1. In what ways was your group supportive and helpful to you today? What did you learn from them by sharing your essay?
2. What did you learn by listening to and talking about your group's essays?
2. What aspects (parts) of your essay do you still need to work on this weekend?

HOMEWORK:

Work on your essay. It's due date is Wednesday, October 13.
