Retake Chapter 9 Quiz "Open Mouth" Stylie?



RAGs for rough drafts.
  1. Do not use your name; use your 4-digit number.
  2. If you get your own (or that of somebody you know), it doesn't matter. Read it anyway. You might learn something.
  3. Read as far as you can in 1 minute. Don't dawdle, read as much as you can. Look for ideas you like, and things to avoid.
  4. When you hear, "Switch..."
  5. Pass papers immediately. Always pass papers clockwise (to the left).
  6. After reading the whole group of papers, come to an agreement about which paper of that group is the best. Write down that paper's number.
  7. Then we'll look at the "winners," the ones most groups liked best. What do these essays have in common? What can we learn from what they did?


Now what?
  1. Get three people (at least one must be Mom/Dad/other trusted, savvy adult) to read your first draft, and do Part I on the Evaluation Sheet.
  2. Rewrite. Add, subtract, give details, give examples, proofread and fix! Do not just retype.
Show me 2nd draft and reader comments on Friday!
