Writing Comments

Yesterday I was able to hand back the first drafts or our Cynthia Rylant writing projects.  The students also received their comment sheet.  My hope is that the students will use these comments to work on improving their writing projects.  You can find these comment sheets in the writing folder.

I already saw the students thinking about what they wanted to add to their first draft or cut from their first draft or rework.  The students are going to start show me the changes they are planning to make for their final draft tomorrow.  The class is excited about creating their final draft in a bare book.

We also read our second coyote story today.  When we were done with the story, the students went on a pronoun hunt throughout the text.  Tomorrow we are going to look at the story again and think about how it related to our first coyote story.

I am going to keep it short tonight.  Hope you are all having a great week.
