Collaborative Writing—Partner Dialogue Story  (Twenty minutes)

1.      Review the grading criteria on page 13 with me now.

a.     You used lots of dialogue to create the scene.

b.    You correctly edited the dialogue you used; refer to pages 35-39 for help!

c.     Length—your final draft is roughly one a half pages, doublespaced.

d.    Fictional—it’s made up; it’s at least fifty-percent lies.

e.     It is classroom appropriate, and it doesn’t violate the rules for writing content we’ve talked about repeatedly.

2.     Review the blue pages for HOW to correctly edit dialogue.

3.     Finish your partner dialogue story.

Google Drive Hint from Mr. Passi:

  Just highlight the word; then  press command + Shift + y, and you will have a pop-up screen with the word definition. I thought students might find this feature useful.
