Peer Editing Pair students with a partner to read and help one another edit the rough draft of their personal narratives like we had done the previous day as a group. Provide the students with a blank piece of paper to write one thing they liked and one question about their partner's personal narrative. This can help the partner to improve their piece, and serve as a form of accountability for this peer editing activity. Conference with each set of partners as they edit each others rough drafts. Find time to conference with those students I am unable to conference with at this time.
Final Draft Take rough drafts to the computer lab.
Type final draft of personal narratives in a word processing program, such Claris Works. As they finish typing their personal narratives, show students how to use the computer's spell checker. Print the students' final drafts. Everyday I will collect and evaluate the students' work to ensure that each student is keeping up and continuing to make progress. Each written piece throughout the process will be evaluated and graded for learning, following directions, completion and progress achieved.
