7th Grade--6/6

Today 7th graders had time in Lab #2 to work on their final fiction pieces. I discussed the expectations for this assignment at the beginning of class, but I encourage you to see me as questions arise in your writing. Remember, you're not only to be adding on to your story, but also editing that which you had already written.

In the final draft, I'll be looking for...
  • Appropriate pacing
  • Varied sentence structures
  • Description
  • Setting
  • Literary Elements
  • Strong Vocabulary
  • A conclusion/ending that seems natural and not rushed
  • Evidence of self editing
Don't forget to edit your piece before submitting it! Grammar and spelling will count!

Homework due tomorrow:
-None

Long term due date:
-Final fiction piece due on Friday
