Class #5

Quiz.

Groups discussed Mowat's observation of wolves.

Everyone did an exercise using Everyday Writer to practice for editing your second draft.

Peer Review of Draft #2.

Homework

1. Edit carefully and create the final version of your observation paper. Remember to bring all drafts and yellow comment sheets to turn in with your final version. The final version must be in MLA format, as seen in the Everyday Writer, typed and double-spaced.
Special warning on editing: fix sentence fragments and run-ons (Sections 34 and 35 in Everyday Writer), watch your verb tenses, check "lie" and "lay," and double check how to punctuate dialogue.

2. In your journal, do #1 and #5 from "Postscript on the Writing Process" on page 89 in Reid (yellow box).

3. Read pages 102-108 in Reid.

4. Two vocabulary words.
