Tuesday, February 17 Agenda

}Bell Ringer: Verb Tense
}Writer’s Workshop
SPQ
Revising to next draft
Should be at step 6 (revise after second draft) after today
Look for verb tense agreement; correct compound sentences and other sentence structure; and dialogue format
Final Draft due Friday: workshop time Wed and Thurs (maybe full blocks, not both)

}Correct Verb Tense half sheet
SPQ Directions:
}You need a sheet of paper with your name on the top and then the letters S, P, and Q with space next to them for your editor to write comments while reading
Summarize what the story is about (also identify the conflict, climax)
Point to sections that worked well –quote the phrases or thoughts (textual evidence)
Question anything you didn’t understand; what things does it seem like they are missing? Anything you want to say to the author goes here (questions, comments, critiques)
If you were given a paper copy and are sure of a mistake, make a correction on the story itself.  If it’s on Google docs, write your suggestion on the SPQ sheet
When you get your SPQ sheet back, read it and start making changes (deleting things that don’t work is NEVER a bad thing when working on second or third drafts)
