Learning Tasks for Friday, April 25

Essential Question: How can feedback improve your writing?

Objectives: I can...
-apply feedback to my writing.
-revise and edit my writing.

1. Writing into the Day 



2. Proofreading and Editing
On Blackboard, pull up your previous papers written for this course.  What aspects of your writing did Mr. Ziebart mark for improvement?  Make a list of the three issues that are most common in your previous papers (maybe commas? organization? length?).  Have you addressed those concerns in your current paper?

With a partner, you will proofread and edit your paper.  Pay attention to grammar, punctuation, formatting, and any other concerns that Mr. Ziebart noted in your previous papers.

2.  Revisions
Using feedback from your peers, Ms. Jones, and Mr. Ziebart, make any needed revisions to your paper before submitting your work to Blackboard.


3.  Submit your Work
Your rough draft is due today.  REMEMBER! It does not need to be a "good" or "perfect" paper yet.  Mr. Ziebart and I expect your writing to be less than par at this point.  That's the purpose of a ROUGH draft! :)
