Editing for Content: September 15, 2015

Focus: How can I strengthen the content of my summary and response?

If you chose a conference over written feedback, please sign up for a conference; the sign-up sheet is on my desk.

1. Warming up with 3GT and telling your editors what you need help with

2. Editing your summary-response drafts for content (click HERE for the editing slides)

3. Making revisions based on today's feedback

4. Explanation of Kite Runner vocabulary and www.quizlet.com

HW:
1. Continue revising and developing your rough draft; tomorrow will be our last day of in-class editing.

Postponed: 2. By Friday, finish your Kite Runner vocab cards (using Quizlet, a different vocab app, or good old-fashioned index cards) for the first 15 words of the following list: Chapters 1-6 .

(Throughout most of The Kite Runner, we will be learning vocabulary instead of grammar.)

3. Independent reading.
