Happy Friday Honors students!

Please turn in AOW 4 to the basket WHEN YOU LEAVE

Those of you that did not finish your Latin Roots Midterm yesterday need to finish it TODAY at break or lunch.

1. Please take out your editorials, a colored pen, and a pencil.

2. Find a partner to work with, pick someone that will be honest with you about your editorial. If there is a need for a group of three, see me. 

3. Peer Editing: today, you are going to help each other out with peer editing; you will each complete your OWN peer editing form.

Steps:

-Read your partner's editorial, take note of the tone of their editorial. Put a star next to things you really like or a question mark next to things that are confusing.
-Fill out the boxes on the form, complete those before answering the questions, if you do not get to the questions today that is fine.


The point of peer editing is not to make changes for your partner, but point out what changes they should make to make their editorial more effective.

NO ONE should have any boxes left blank, there is always something that could be improved!



HW: over the weekend, make the changes from the peer edit form. This means you will:

1. Write another hand written draft, label it "Editorial Draft #2"
2. Highlight any changes/additions you make to your editorial- as you make changes, make sure you are sharing YOUR thoughts on the topic, let your emotions show and be passionate about your opinions. Do not simply relay research- HAVE FUN WITH IT :)


The second draft is not an option, nor am I having you do it to be "cruel." This is part of the writing process and learning how to become successful writers. 

You will submit this second draft with your first draft, the peer edit form, and your final copy. If you do not include the second draft, you will lose points off the final grade.
