Drafting
7. Write a first draft of the class-constructed story. Use notes and the graphic organizers to guide your writing. Be sure to vary the writing by using the four sentence types that you learned about earlier in the lesson.
Check Your Understanding
After you have drafted your short story, read over the completed story the class has created. Using the characteristics of a good story, the Learning Targets, and the Scoring Guide, consider what you may want to add or change in order to revise the draft.
