We are focusing on a SMALL MOMENT and writing for our peers. Our purpose is to entertain. Make them laugh, cry, or empathize with your story.
Remember a story has a beginning, a middle, and an end. The order of events must make sense for your readers.
Use your growing vocabulary to make the story come alive.
Your personality and feelings should shine out of your writing. Make it sound like you.
Make if fun to read with dialogue and rhythm. Read it out loud and see how it sounds.
Check and double check CUPS (Capitalization, Grammar Usage Punctuation, and Spelling.)
Make it look GREAT! This is the area where neatness counts.
Work during class on your writing. Don't distract others or waste time. Learn from your conferences with teacher and/or peers.
