Pay attention to making sure there is context from the story for quotes, flow between sentences (transitions), and sentence variety. You will be showing classmates this revised paragraph tomorrow and looking at a model to compare it to before you turn in a final draft.
OK, someone had the same idea as us.
- Bring the draft of your revised paragraph.
- In breakout groups, share some of your revision ideas.
