Warm-up: Copy the sentence and explain which underlined part is
incorrect and what is wrong with it.
Every day, millions of tiny stony bits falling quietly into the atmosphere, burning briefly as meteors, and leaving behind a vaporized residue that filters slowly to Earth.
Classwork: I gave back visual rhetoric essays - write a reflection about what score you think that you earned based on the comments and switch with a friend and write another reflection about how you think that they compare. Then we discussed revisions and I gave students time to work on Independent reading or revise essays.
Copy these revision directions:
Look carefully at each element of the checklist, rubric and the score you received. Address any weakness of that element in your essay and rework it in your revision. Address each and every mark and comment your teacher made on your essay.
Revisit the specific directions for the assignment to clarify your understanding of the prompt and task.
Homework: Optional - essay revisions due Monday; Finish independent reading books and complete Edmodo questions by midnight 10/20 - be ready for in class essay on Monday (BRING YOUR BOOK)

After revising your essay, ask a peer or parent to
look it over and discuss the paper with you.
Consider what they said and make any additional corrections.
Once you have made the changes in your newly revised,
typed essay, highlight each change and explain why you made that change. Your explanations can be in the margins, or
you can number your highlighted passages and attach a separate sheet of
explanations. Some of these highlighted
passages might just need you to explain a grammar rule that you learned, but
the majority of them will be serious revisions to your content or organization
and will require you to elaborate on how making that correction fixed a problem
of your essay.
At the end of your typed, revised draft, include a
reflection on why this essay is now more effective and why it would earn a top
score (7-9). If you don’t honestly think
and cannot defend why it now deserves a 7,8, or 9, please do not submit
it.
Attach original, graded essay to your final revision
(paper clip, please).
