Announcements

1. Send your essay to one of the volunteer peer editors this week if you'd like help with proofreading! (catching typos, run-on sentences, etc). Choose whichever student editor you feel comfortable sharing your essay with.
2. PEER EDITORS:  To document your editing to receive extra credit, please screenshot all of the drafts you edit WITH YOUR suggestions/comments.  Email me in ONE EMAIL all those screenshots and indicate which students' essays you proofread.
3. NARRATIVE ESSAY students-- Here is the RUBRIC for this essay AND you DO need to integrate evidence from  outside sources related to socialization and have some paragraphs that are more traditional TEA paragraphs.....

Writing Conferences
In addition to your peer and self-critiques this week, I want to have a brief (5 minute) writing conference with each of you on your rough draft before Thanksgiving.  To prepare for this, you need to have the following:

1. Your draft 
2. A question or thing you’re struggling with, or would like feedback on in your draft

Please sign up on the whiteboard for these- I need to do 4 a day this week between today and Thursday and another ~3 a day next week.

Quick Critique
Find a partner, then share your rough draft with them (yes, even if it's incomplete)- trade computers, or just share your draft with them.  Read their draft, and do the following:

1. Comment on ONE sentence or piece of writing that stands out to you in a good way- talk about why you like that piece of writing.  This sentence stood out to me because____________, and I think it makes your essay stronger because___________.
2. Give TWO suggestions for places where they could expand on their ideas, make connections to class content, tell a story more effectively, or where you have questions- explain specifically HOW they could expand, WHAT connections they could make, or WHAT questions you have.
   1. I think you could revise this because________________.  You should do this by _______________.
3. At the bottom of the paper, write, in ONE SENTENCE what your big takeaway is from this essay.
4. Finally, leave ONE COMMENT at the bottom of the essay of one specific thing they could do to make their theme more interesting, complex, or apparent in the essay.

Work Priorities:

1. FINISH your draft!
2. Work on your mask (only if you've completed your draft).
