Students read the text. The text will be mainly used to generate writing ideas and help students withdeveloping a creative writing leson plan. A finished story or memoir of about fifteen pages will be required and shared with other students at the final electronic writing fair. Or, the final writing could be a series of stories or memoirs of the same length.
Students respond critically to the writing of other students.
Responses can be informal, say one to three pages each. The responses should focus increasingly on the technical aspects of the writing as the students revise and edit their work. Students create a creative writing lesson plan for use in their classrooms and which will be shared at the final electronic writing fair.
