This Week in Writing...
We have started the year working on writing narratives. During this unit we are focusing on writing personal narratives, although we will be using different types of personal narratives.
During the school year we will be using a similar process for writing. We start with brainstorming which almost always includes a graphic organizer. Then we use the graphic organizer to write our rough draft (first draft) in our writer's notebook. Students will then revise their own writing. Once the writing has been revised, students will begin to type their writing on their chrome book using google classroom. Once the writing is submitted onto google classroom, I will print it out and the student will find a peer who will edit their writing. The peer will sign the paper so I know who edited and then I will edit the paper myself. Once I finish editing the paper, your student will receive the copy and will write their final draft. I will then use a rubric to grade the paper.
