AP THIS WEEK
Paper #1
1. 1. At the top of Paper #1, write down what you feel your greatest success with this paper has been so far.
2. Then write two questions you want your peer conferencer to answer. (We’ll talk some about what those questions should sound like. We want to remember the rubric, and we went to remember what we’ve read in They Say/I Say.)
3. Partner-up with another person, trade papers, and have a thoughtful peer conference. (Let’s review how we do this.)
4. Make sure and comment specifically on what your partner wrote at the top of his/her paper.
5. After you’ve finished reading each other’s paper and writing comments, talk with each other a bit about the challenges you faced when writing this draft, and where you’re heading with the final draft.
6. Lastly, write me a paragraph (on the back of your paper) telling me what you would like my help on this draft before you do your final draft. Tell me what you are proud of, and tell me what you think isn’t working as well as it could be. Ask me a question.
7. Throw Paper #1 in the drawer on my desk.
