I want to hear your stories!

As an educator interested in open and honest reflection on the realities of teaching, I DO want to know your stories, as you see them. Please follow this link to the anonymous form if you are willing to share. I am interested in the stories of students and parents.

Wednesday and Thursday

Now that we've completed the writer's workshop....it is time to plan the re-write.

Thursday Rules:
1. Take the class period and plan. Slow down and consider what types of changes you need to make and how to go about making that type of change throughout the essay.
2. Resist the urge to work within the original essay today. The result tends to be to make superficial changes.
3. Remember, use the paragraph structure so it works for you, but that doesn't mean to ignore all the work that occurs within a paragraph...or within two paragraphs.
4. Use the materials available to you: provided in class
5. Do NOT start completely over and do something TOTALLY different. You may drop a paragraph if needed (maybe it repeats in topic) and add a new one to better address a different craft....

Friday Rules:
1. Write your essay.
2. Show what you've learned about commentary for both content and while you write.
3. Turn in on Edmodo. Attach it through your backpack. Do NOT copy and paste. ATTACH.

Thank you,
