Draft #1 Observation

Today you read and comment on each other's drafts to practice for revising your own draft.

Revision = to re-see.

Analyze:  Are the details clear?  Do I understand and "see" the scene?

Synthesize:  Does it all add up to make the point?

Evaluate:  What works well?  What needs to be improved?

Copy the above in your daybook.  Then you will fill out the blue "Writer's Sheet" (handout).  I'll pass around 2 "Reader's Sheets" that will be filled out about your draft.  When we're done, all these sheets will go home with you, and you will revise your draft into Draft #2.

Homework:


1.  Make changes/additions to your draft.  Draft #2 typed is due Thursday. How will you save it?  NO FLASH DRIVES!


2.  TWFTD:  tough
