Homework: Work on papers

Today we peer-edited and self-edited your Narrative papers in class. Remember, the final drafts are due this Wednesday, no exceptions!!

Narrative Paper Self-Edit
1. Look at the rubric on the back of your original assignment. In what category do you feel you are the strongest? Why?
What category may need some work? What can you do to improve in that category?
2. Underline three examples of imagery (words that appeal to the senses) in your paper. If you cannot, make sure you edit your paper to have more imagery.
3. Underline three ways in which you give detail about the setting of your story. If you cannot, edit your paper to include more detail about setting.
4. Look closely at your first and last paragraphs. Are they attention-grabbing and interesting? If not, edit these so that they are more effective.
5. Underline your three different sentence combinations. Check over these with your PowerPoint slides to make sure you used the rules correctly. If you cannot underline three sentence-combining techniques, make sure to add these to your paper.
6. Underline the dialogue you use in your paper. If you do not have dialogue, add it! Check to make sure that all your punctuation and quotation marks are in the correct spots.

Homework:

Finish reading the next short story if you haven’t already.
