English 7

Students received their graded writer's notebooks and rough drafts with suggestions for improvement this morning. Then we worked on revision of Peak essays. 

Students may have been helped by review comments left by their classmates.  They are strongly encouraged to take the suggestions offered by their teacher! These suggestions will help them to maximize the points they earn as defined by the rubric.  Revision is the hardest part of writing!
