}Bell Ringer: Prefixes
}Independent Reading
}Upload your most current draft to the assignment in Turnitin then print off your story (hopefully you have worked on revising it, so it isn’t the same version as last week)
◦Theme tracing –what is your theme? Where is it alluded to? What details build your message? –highlight all pieces of theme as you develop it (think of “The Sniper”)
◦Also use printed copy for editing
◦Once you have highlighted the whole story, bring it back to meet with me
}Writer’s Workshop:
◦Sign up for a conference with me to talk about what you’ve been working on and what you still want to do
–Need to confer with me today or tomorrow
◦Take a look at your first story, identifying some areas of concern with your writing for you to focus on with the current story we are writing
◦Work on REVISING your story (think of the questions from Friday and human experience, what you just brainstormed, etc)
–Remember, part of revising is often DELETING things, not just adding
–Print out draft to edit: use your comma note sheet
◦Universal theme? What are your plans for including it?
◦As you work on your story, our third draft is going to focus on Universal Themes and Fluency
