Activity:

Thinking back to what you accomplished yesterday, decide on which step you need to start with.

A.  Peer Edit 

Please find one partner to swap persuasive essays with.

Before you begin reviewing each others writing, please share the information from the starter.

Make sure that you read the instructions in the document.

B.  Conferencing

While you are peer editing, I will be rotating throughout the room conducting one-on-one conferences.

I will help assist you with anything you specifically request and guide you alongside the rubric.

C.  Revising

Based on the checklist and comments go back to your essay and make revisions.

Have the same or different partner review it again.  What other suggestions are still made?

 

D.  Practice

If you have time, practice reading your essay aloud.

Where should you place emphasis to be persuasive?

Should there be pauses?

How should you vary tone and pace?

 

Consider these items for when you will present.
