Today I handed back the 7th graders' myths (their final drafts which they turned in last week). Many students did very well (there were eight As)! However, there were some students who did not fully follow directions or did not proofread thoroughly. The good news is that ALL of the students have an opportunity not only to improve their grade but, more importantly, to better their writing skills by correcting their mistakes. I will accept their re-written, improved myths by this Friday.
I gave each student a detailed rubric, and I wrote comments and corrections through the papers to show the necessary changes. I also took the entire class period today to remind them of the elements needed to create a myth (as opposed to a typical short story), and we also discussed typical writing errors.
Please encourage your student to re-write the paper and to see me for any additional help.
Thank you!
Mrs. Agate
