Juniors - Wednesday and Thursday, Jan.28-29

Block days this week were spent in the computer lab, continuing work on your drafts. You should have your three drafts completed and should now be focusing on revising, editing, and proofreading. Bring your drafts to class on Friday for part two of the workshop. Once you are finished polishing up your drafts into nice and pretty final pieces for your portfolio, up next are the writer's memos. Click the link below for instructions/guided questions for what go into the writer's memos. Remember, you need to have one memo for each piece, for a total of three. FINAL PORTFOLIOS ARE DUE ON MONDAY!! A complete portfolio will have the following:
1. A cover that includes your name, period, and date. (Also, a title for your portfolio would be useful!)
2. Three polished, revised final pieces of writing that reflect three different genres.
3. All rough drafts (at least one for each piece that reflects revision, feedback, and editing)
4. Three writer's memos (one for each piece)
5. Peer feedback sheets from the Writing Workshops on Tuesday 1/27 and Friday 1/30
