October 24, Wednesday - A writing/sharing work day

Hi everyone,

Q1. What's your plan or goal for finishing your writing this week? (By Monday)

Q2. Can you bring a draft of your 2nd piece on Monday for peer review?

 If you are behind schedule, please try to catch up!

 Reminders:
-If you haven't written a reaction to Kathleen's talk, please do so.
-If you haven't responded to the Mid-Term Questionnaire, this is your final chance. It is almost the end of the term...
-Keep up your blogging/commenting. See the new commenting groups.

-Most importantly, move the process of your writing/publishing forward according to your schedule!

To review, basically, it is 8 steps:

1) Brainstorm theme/genre, discuss ideas with partners --> 2) See mentor texts (pieces of a similar genre on the web etc.) to get good ideas --> 3) write draft --> 4) show and get feedback --> 5) revise --> 6) show and get feedback --> 7) edit, get help with editing --> 8) publish with author's note, thanking your helpers.

See you on Monday!
