Assignment
Your assignment is to revise the personal narrative with reflection that you drafted earlier in the unit. Use the revision techniques you have learned in this unit to improve the beginning, middle, and end of your narrative. You will also write a text explaining the revisions you made to improve your first draft and the effect of the changes on the final piece.
Planning and Prewriting: Meet with your writing group to share and refine your revision ideas.
• How will you present and discuss your draft and revision plan (Activities 1.7, 1.9) with your writing group?
• How will you apply the revision strategies in Activities 1.8–1.9 to your draft to revise organization, coherence, and narrative elements?
• How will reading and discussing your group members’ drafts and revision plans help your efforts to revise?
Revising: Review your plan and revise your narrative.
• How will you incorporate your group’s suggestions and ideas into your revision plan?
• How can the Scoring Guide help you evaluate how well your draft meets the requirements of the assignment?
Checking and Editing: Confirm that your final draft is ready for publication.
• How will you check for correct spelling and grammatical accuracy?
• How can your writing group assist you with the editing and proofreading?
• How will you prepare a final draft for publication?
Reflecting on Writing: Write an explanation of your revision process.
• What were the most significant changes that you made to your original draft?
• Why did you make these changes, and what was your intended effect on the reader?
• How did your peers help you with the writing process?
