Revising & Editing for Excellence

This week we've been hard at work writing essays about the central conflicts in our Revolution novels. We began with a brainstorm map to discover the central conflicts, transformed those ideas into an outline, and then constructed well organized essays. In our ongoing discussion of "How do we achieve excellence?" we created a revision & editing checklist with agreements from our class. Today, we worked independently and collaboratively to ensure our essays were polished examples of excellence.
