Today in class, we read two others drafts of student stories in groups and commented on these stories on this form, that should be attached to the story read.
After this activity, we discussed each paper, one at a time in our groups, so readers could comment and ask questions about the drafts, and likewise so writers could ask clarifying questions about the comments.
If a writer needed to explain ideas in their paper in detail, then the writer should consider incorporating those ideas into the writing so that the paper needs no explanation. Either their is too much detail in the paper that must be edited out, or there are not enough essential details needed to make the story clear to the reader.
After the small group discussion, we discussed the activity as a class. Here are some comments that students made, that may be helpful as students rewrite their second drafts tonight.
Tonight's homework, due tomorrow in class -
1. Bring a typed second draft (saved in Google as second draft - separate from first draft) ready to be edited in class Thursday.
2. Core 2 - Bring your story sketch (handwritten, half page min) based on the story parts (strips) activity we did in class on Tuesday.
3. Due next Monday - SS: Chapter 16 - 3 EQ Q&A. (This is Thursday Night's HW)
4. Tableaus will be performed in class tomorrow after a shorter edit activity on Thursday.
Also,
3. Work on your Interview.
a. The interview should be completed this weekend, so that you are ready to do the write-up on Monday. b. The write-up, due next Wednesday, is NOT a Question and Answer transcript, but follows a paragraph format with occasional quotes.
c. If possible, try to do the interview via email, so the actual answers are typed for you, instead of a long transcript of questions and answers that requires a much longer interview time frame. (No transcript of the interview is required as part of the assignment.
