  1. Welcome, writers. Please have on your desk: • Travel Story Draft • Dialogue Sheet • “Might Be…” Vocab. I’m sorry I can’t be here! I’m at WRESL; talking about graduation requirements. Michelle Rene will take good care of you.

  2. HOMEWORK: South: Due Thurs. Churchill: PM Due Wed. 10/13; AM Due Friday 10/15 • Finish peer editing sheet (an IHS 9th grader is best; friend/parent/aunt/uncle, etc. are okay too) • FINAL draft of Travel Story • Bring ALL 4 vocab. sheets (Size of…, Deep Fried…, Mega Chicken…, Might Be…) Coming up: • Vocab. test – SHE: Wed. 10/20; CHS: Thurs. 10/21 • ALL extra credit & late/missing work for Travel Lit due Thurs. 10/21 • PROGRESS REPORTS/Calls home = This Friday.

  3. My Story • Fill out the “Tracking Writing” sheet. • If you finish, you can take your writing home. • If you don’t finish, your writing stays. • You will be given a score for improving throughout the year. • Notice areas to work on for your travel story. • ✔= Ms. Owens likes it! • = Error/needs work • You have 10 minutes. • When you’re done…put your Tracking Writing Sheet back in your folder.

  4. OAKS Writing Samples • Practice Scoring (review): • 4 = minimum to graduate from high school • Need 4’s in ALL categories to pass the sample • Have 4 years to pass your samples • If your group scores closest to the state’s score, you win! • Scoring Rubric • Write your names • Sample # = Title • You have 10 minutes. • Tips/Hints • Remember: These writers had no: spell checker, help creating ideas, etc. They had about one hour to write. They had to write about the prompt they were given, and they hadn’t seen the prompt before.

  5. Writer’s Workshop – Choose your group: 2 boys/2 girls. • Write your name on “Writer’s Name” line • Pass your draft and Peer Edit sheet one person clockwise. • Write your name on “Editor’s Name” line • Mark ideas for improvement draft AND self edit sheet. You will be graded on your editing efforts. Pretend you’re Ms. Owens – grade as hard as she does & blame it on her!  • Keep edit sheet with your rough draft, and staple to final draft.

  6. Today’s Treasures • Check out this story that Ms. Owens has edited. • Things she’s especially looking for: • Strong HOOK – 1st sentence grabs the reader • Does this story make sense?/is there un-necessary info? • NO airports unless they must be there as part of your climactic moment. • Description, description, description!!! • Setting • Characters • Climax – one whole paragraph • Dialogue used wisely
