Rough Drafts and Peer Editing!

This morning was a busy one focusing on bringing everything together from the week in each camper's written piece.  For the last couple of days they have been working on organizing their thoughts in visual ways using a variety of graphic organizers.  Today students began working on their rough drafts writing a comparing and contrasting piece either about themselves and Max, the main character in Where the Wild Things Are or comparing and contrasting themselves and their "creature" they have created this week. When they finished their rough draft they then began to peer edit, as well as conference with an adult to some level of degree.  Here is a video clip of Stacey and Josh peer editing.  Stacey is sharing her written piece with Josh, and Josh is giving her suggestions of how to improve her piece, as well as letting her know what he enjoyed about it! Tomorrow......final drafts!!
