We will be typing up our second drafts on this website and using them to comment on the work we do over the entire semester.
I expect content to be classroom appropriate as we are representing our school publicly on this site, and I expect comments to be constructive and helpful. “That’s great!” or “This story sucks!” are NOT adequate responses.
You need to explain what was great, but still offer advice for improvement (writing is never perfect!) even if you reallly like what you’ve read. If you feel like the writing could be improved upon, find something positive for the author to build upon and explain what aspect of the piece you think should be improved on/revised.
I am moderating the comments, so if it does not appear on the page immediately, it is simply because I have not yet approved your comment. In this way, I will record if you have done enough and adequate responses each time.
I look forward to a fun semester, and I can’t wait to read your writing! First on our menu is a “life map” and we will work on it IN CLASS. See you in class on Monday!!!
