Long Observation/Description Draft #1

Today you practice more analytical thinking.

Revise = to re-see.

#1  Read and React:  use ! and ?

#2  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 Tuesday. How will you save it? On Tuesday Draft 2 must be accessible electronically in the computer lab. BACK UP A FLASH DRIVE!

2.  Read Farley Mowat's "Observing Wolves" (handout) and answer the questions in your daybook.

3. TWFTD:  "rough" in the OED --see yesterday's post.
