Today I handed back portfolios to students - some beautiful projects. I appreciated reading and looking through your work. Thank you. This piece of writing was a benchmark, a good place to start. From here we will get more technical and specific about what and how we want our writing to sound.
We discussed genres, and looked through a lengthy list of what categories there are. Students should now begin to use this vocabulary when describing their reading.
We moved into finishing off our 'I am the reader/writer' piece. Students were given a marking rubric, and time to finish their writing. This time the focus is on voice, pictures, and flow...ensure that your writing appeals to the senses and is easy to understand. Have someone else read your writing out loud to you so that you can hear (your voice) and see (their face) problems in your writing.
Good copy + rough copy + rubric is due next class - TUESDAY OCT 28th.
Have a nice long weekend!!
Homework: READ, revise and type 'I am the reader/writer' - due Oct 28th
