Some revisions and re-drafting of rock stories today. Most of you completed your revisions in class and are ready to publish your second piece of writing. Some of you are still having a tough time ORGANIZING YOUR WRITING INTO THREE PARAGRAPHS. You INDENT (leave two finger spaces) when beginning a paragraph. All other sentences start at margin and continue to the end of the line. Look in any chapter book and you'll see what your writing should look like. Below is the success criteria for the rock story:
- I have described where my rock lives (areas and others)
- I have described the physical appearance of my rock.
- I have included how my rock feels.
- I have described how I found my rock.
- I have included how my rock felt about being found.
Paragraph 3:
- I have described my rock in the classroom.
- I have included how my rock felt about being painted an displayed in class.
