Monday 04/10 Writing - Pair Conferring and Revising

Purpose:  I can use feedback to revise and improve my persuasive essay draft.

1. Whole Group: Respectful Feedback
2. As you read your partner's writing, ask yourself the following questions.  Use "Comments" to provide respectful feedback:
• Is it clear what this author's opinion is?
• Are there convincing reasons that support the opinion?
• Does this piece make sense? If not, where am I confused?
3. Independent Writing Time:
• Use the feedback to revise and improve your draft.
• Revise your opening sentences to get your reader interested.
• Make sure to state your opinion clearly in the first paragraph.
• Make sure to give reasons that support your opinion.
• Repeat your opinion in your conclusion.
