I warned you guys on day one that I’m not traditional. So today, we aren’t going to swap papers and edit, we are going to use a process called ratiocination to revise and edit the paper according to the rubric that you, the students, helped devise based on the words you suggested.

Based on the rubric, which you can find in Schoology, I found some activities to do today to make sure we address the rubric. When you get to the Ba-Da-Bing section and the Text Structure section, make sure you click the link provided to make sure you know what you are doing. Just because you attempt a station does not mean you are required to revise your essay with it. For example, if you add sensory details to an example to help make it a showing example, you don’t have to use ALL of the senses that you brainstormed – that would be overkill. If you tried a Ba-Da-Bing and you don’t think it works with your essay, then don’t use it.

This is your essay. We want to add details and depth, but not at the risk of your authenticity. Get this done by Friday. The rough draft will be due on Monday at midnight.
