Writing
• Look over the feedback and make revisions if
necessary.
• Write your conclusion.
• Share your document with a classmate (everybody
has to share with at least one other person)!
▫ Once you have a classmate’s document, make
suggestions for revisions and tell them what you like
about their writing. Return it to its owner.
• Once you have your revised (final) draft. Turn it in
on google classroom. Remember I am looking for
organization (transitions) and strong claims!
