7th/8th Grade Writing: Week of 9/24-9/27

Good morning, scholars and families!  This week in writing, students will begin their second draft of their personal narrative stories, which are to be revised for the strategies we reviewed in the last two weeks on "Showing, Not Telling."

Important Announcement

Students are responsible for turning in their second draft on a separate sheet of paper, double spaced (skipping every other line on the lined paper), and it must include 2 examples of each of the four strategies below.  These four strategies for "Showing, Not Telling" are:

- Diction

- Dialogue

- Descriptive language

- Sensory detail

This second draft is due by beginning of class on Tuesday, September 25.

Weekly Objectives

This week, we will review paragraphing, capitalization, punctuation, and how to make editing/revision marks on drafts.
