- Writing is the painting of the voice. -Voltaire
Lesson: Today was the last work day on their narrative rough drafts. We talked about the job of a conclusion paragraph and discussed the idea of "ending strong" in their conclusion paragraphs. We talked about how the students should end their stories in a way that leaves the reader with an image in their mind. I shared several examples of how they could do this using essays from previous classes. The students had the rest of class to work on their rough drafts. If they did not finish in class, the rough draft is homework! Tomorrow we will begin editing and revising.
Homework: Rough drafts are due tomorrow!
