Tuesday 09/27 Writing Activity

Purpose:  I can begin to revise as part of producing writing using an effective process.

1. Continue finishing, adding, and making changes to your chosen draft as you write quietly:
• Does your writing make sense?  What parts might you want to check again to make sure they make sense?
• What still needs to be added to your first draft for it to be finished?
• What else might a reader want to know about when they are reading your piece?
• Read the last sentence of your piece?  Does it feel like an ending?  What more can you write to make it feel like an ending?
• Check for correct capitalization at the beginning of every sentence and with proper nouns.
• Add dialogue and use quotation marks to show speakers' exact words.
• Add more adjectives, comparatives, and superlatives to describe the nouns in your piece.
2. Be ready to share what you wrote today.
