First Workshop Day!

1.  Please put your drafts on your desk for me to check.

2.  TPS, check each other's MLA format-- correct any mistakes.

3.  Journal- 

Are you proud of your essay?  Why or why not?  What could you do better?  What did you do well?  If you were giving yourself a grade for Voice, what would it be?  If you gave yourself a grade for Word choice, what would it be?


4.  Groups and reading.  Model.

On the back of the papers you read, answer the following questions:

Is the essay in MLA format?
Is there a beginning, middle, and end?
Is it broken into paragraphs?
Does it start in the middle of the story?
Is it interesting?
Are there so many grammar mistakes that it is distracting?
Circle any mistakes you see.
Offer one suggestion for improvement.
Offer one compliment.

5.  HW-  Revising and editing the essay for class on Wednesday.
