Shred-it-edit

Today in class, we continued in the writing process. We discussed editing and students practice proofreading a "fake paper" before proofreading their own. Students used a checklist to self-edit their informational article and then exchanged papers with a peer to peer edit. Students then turned in their edited drafts to Miss Devine so that she can "teacher edit" them this weekend.

Later, in pairs, students read pages 11-15 in I Promised I Would Tell and wrote a one sentence summary of each diary entry on those pages.

HOMEWORK: Finish the reading and summary sentences for tomorrow.
