Students participate constructively in discussions about classmates writing. Students make changes in their compositions to reflect the reactions and comments of both teacher and classmates. Between the first and final drafts, students make substantive rather that only minor changes. Editing Students proofread their own compositions. Students help proofread classmates compositions.
Students increasingly identify and correct their own mechanical errors.
