It’s time to reclaim your
work! J I want YOU to be the only person with access
to the work.
5.
Let’s go to the “Used”
folder in the class google docs.

Follow directions for how to
“organize” or move things to your own personal Creative Writing folder. Can I borrow one of your computers now, so

Let’s make a CREATIVE
WRITING FOLDER now in “MY DRIVE” and make sure everything is in there.
Russian Tailor

You read it aloud to your
buddies yesterday.
2.
Now reread the poem one
more time.

Open it up on google drive,
and go to “see revision history” for March 12th. Count your changes, and put that number over
fifteen in the right column of your pink rubric.
4.
Fill out the RIGHT side of
the pink rubric with fresh, objective eyes.
5.
Yes, this means you are
self-assessment two times! J

Return it to the folder by
the monkey, then move on to what you need to do for “Fifty-Word Stories.”
