For now on, save each new draft of a typed document that is edited in class or by Mr. Rodgers on Google as a new document, with the number of the draft.
For example, you complete a draft and save it in Google.
1. This is "draft 1 of Title" of assignment.
2. Print out this draft (double space required for in class editing step by students or Mr. Rodgers)
3. Mr. Rodgers may highlight actual text and add comments in parentheses about the target text that needs changing in some manner. Sometimes the changes should respond to a question asked.
4. Before you make any changes to this draft, with the draft open in edit mode, Make a Copy under the File menu.
5. Save this copy as "draft 2 of Title"
6. Then make your changes.
7. If we are editing this second draft, print it, double spaced for class.
These steps are important to save so, as a writer you can see your improvements, and watch the changes as the piece progresses. At the end of each multiple draft writing assignment, you will be required to show edited drafts with in class comments or at least print out of one Mr. Rodgers set of comments, if no class edited drafts are available. If you lose these edited drafts, you will lose 2 of 4 points possible for these copies.
It is advisable, as well, to get your parents involved in the edit process, but only after the second draft phase has taken place in class, and you have made all corrections to that point. When your parents edit, it is important that they are not rewriting or "fixing" the paper overall, but asking you questions, that you should respond to by creating a better story that answers their questions and concerns about your paper.
