We've expanded moments, we're coming to full circle endings, we're working on word choice... Oh yeah, it's REVISION time!

So this week we will be completing the first big writing assignment of Q1 - the Long Write revision. You have, to this point, created a rough draft, worked on an expanded moment, and you will be creating a full circle ending and adding in better vocabulary based on our first Wordly Wise lesson.

So this will be me this week:

Do you realize what a writer you are? Your new draft is going to be a lot closer to those 5s and 6s we saw in our MCAS scoring practice than you thought before.  We need to just put it all together so that it makes sense.

That means, someone else has to read your writing. But, it's okay. When I can get Google up and running, maybe, just maybe we can start sharing our stuff online. But until then, it's peer editing. Each of you will be given a task - something to look for in the draft, and some grammar to help out your writer friends, to help them improve on their work.

Good luck, writers! Just don't get distracted!
