Language Arts 9: Peer Editing

Warmup: sentence variation practice: Choose a topic to write about. Nonvolunteers will be chosen to roll a set of dice. Whatever number comes up, you will have to write a sentence about your topic using that number of words. You can NOT begin any of the sentences with the same word! 

Review the Six Traits rubric.

Peer edit TWO classmates' essay drafts for all 6 traits, using the rubric and the peer editing handout.

Homework: FINAL essay draft, with all rough drafts and peer editing sheets attached for full credit, is due on Tuesday. This will be graded according to the six traits rubric you worked with today and will be worth 25 points.
