- Look over students' graded drafts (from Lesson 17) and find a common conventions error. Craft a mini lesson for Work Time A to address the error (a sample structure is provided in the lesson). - Identify a body paragraph in a student essay that uses and punctuates a "quote sandwich" well to be used as an exemplar. Make a copy of this body paragraph, without the student's name, to show in Work Time Part B. The goal is for students to have another model to work toward as they revise their own essays. |
