Writing Warm-Ups +  Folders:
Requirements:

• Write the date it was produced at the top of every sheet!
• Write the approximate number of words at the top of each sheet.
• When you compose on your computer, save to a disk and print a copy to put into your folder.
• When you compose on your AlphaSmart, transfer to your editor's folder, and print a copy to put in your folder.
• You must produce 500 words per week of  new rough draft work.
• Editors: 250 words/week
• Check every Thursday:
• 500+ = 40/40
• 400-499 = 35/40
• 300-399 = 30/40
• 200-299 = 25/40
• 100-199 = 20/40
• 50-99 = 10/40
• Less = 0/40
• Out of every 2000 words (every four weeks), you must produce          one 600+ word final draft (with the help of your editor). This is the piece to be graded.
• Writing warm-up for 10+ minutes on Tuesdays and Thursdays (more?). These count toward your 500 weekly words.
