Article of the Week:
1. I will check to see if your work is complete.
2. If so, I will move you to a group and you should discuss the questions members of the group have.
3. If not, sit for 10 minutes and quietly finish your work for the AoW.


Learning Objectives:
I can…

• share writing in small groups
• reflect on the revision process

Opening:

1. Show your final draft to a new partner.

2. As a reader, describe what you felt worked for the writing.  Consider:

• Ideas/Depth of Ideas
• Organization/Progression of Ideas
• Conventions and Use of Language

Work Period:

3. Skim and scan back through your original Timed Writing.  Then write about the following on the slip of paper I provide.

• What are the most significant changes you ended up making?  
• Why did you make the changes? 
• What effect do you think your changes will have on your reader?

4. Staple all parts of the Revision Process together.  Pages 40-41 on top. Then the final draft and reflection.  Followed by your PLAN and revisions.  The Timed Writing should be on the bottom.

Closing:

5. Over the holiday break - you have Extra Credit Independent Reading.  

• If you are behind on your total number of books, go to the library or take a few books from our Book Share, then catch up!
• 14-21 "Notes on Reading" entries due when you return.
