2/28/2019 0 Comments Day 10Collaboration is key in a writing workshopWarm Up
Today we started with a free write where students had to use either the word "bubblegum" or "fire". Students are getting stronger and stronger in their stamina. I had to ask students to stop writing a few times before they actually did :) #teacherdreams Mini Lesson Today's Objective is: Students will be able to list to readers discuss their work in order to ensure they are expressing their ideas as intended. Today I am introducing students to the practice of silent peer revision. Silent Peer Revision Students got into groups of three, then they were to: Share your story draft with each of the members of your group. Allow the members to read your draft. THE WRITER OF THE DRAFT SHOULD REMAIN SILENT. Members of the group will -Summarize the piece. -Determine the theme -Discuss any literary elements/narrative techniques used The WRITER WILL REMAIN SILENT THROUGHOUT THIS ENTIRE PROCESS. If you, as a writer, have something to say to defend your work, take notes and write down the things you need to revise in your work Active Engagement Students get into groups and perform silent peer revision. Once all members have received feedback, students can return to their drafts and revise. Your writing should say what you want it to say and should require no further explanation. If your story requires too much explanation, you must go back to the writing and make sure you get your ideas across. Once published, writers are not typically able to check in with readers and make sure they got the point. The point has got to be clear before publication. Closure Final Drafts due Monday.
