Unit 1, Day 13

Agenda

1. Concept: Style and Diction — verbs, sentence length, and the words you did not have to look up. Fifteen minutes
2. Modelled together: Judging Your Own Work — one criteria table, one story belonging to nobody in this room, judged out loud. Twenty minutes
3. The Story Behind the Story, day 3 — the rest of the period: you draft on, and I conference as many of you as it holds. I read your opening and your last paragraph and ask one question

Things to do before our next class

• One sentence naming what your conference asked for — or, if we have not met yet, the criteria row you already know is weakest.
