Editing+and+Revision+Unit

Hey! This is the starting off point for our unit. (At this point I have sent all of you, and your parents, the invite to join both this Wikispace and my Edublog.)

8/25 - Introduction of Editing, Revising, and Proofreading Unit. A PowerPoint presentation will be given to supplement the reading from the chapter reading (5-7). Then we'll visit www.chompchomp.com to review and test our knowledge of the common mistakes.

8/26- The class will create Wikispace and Edublog accounts and will start work on fictional stories. I will also give a tutorial on how to use Microsoft Word to leave comments (revise, edit, etc).

8/27- The class will have time to finish up the stories and ask questions. All stories must be posted by the end of the class period. If you get done early, begin the second part of the assignment (choosing three stories to correct and the reflection blog).

8/28- Each student will correct three stories from their peers and post these corrections. Also, each student will write a one paragraph reflection on the assingment.
