Español IV 03-19-08 (Sub = Mrs. Fowler & Mrs. Range – Student Teacher):

I. Warm-up: Rimas infantiles - HANDOUT - spoke and then discussed the meanings of these songs/rhymes/tongue twisters, and why the verbs are in the preterit or imperfect.

II. Editing Circles & Homework credit:

Divided in to teams of 4 members each. Each team got a set of Editing Circles handouts

1. Emphasized that an editor DOES NOT change the author’s work, but rather indicates something the author might look at to reconsider.
2. Each team member had TWO jobs: an editing one and a process one.
3. Each team member wss to edits everyone’s rough draft AND it is important that each person signed off at the bottom of the paper so I know who did which editing job.
4. Also distributed the scoring sheet for IB compositions (redacciones) = students need to know the IB expectations for written work, and should apply them to this project, as well as all written work for this class.
5. While students are worked, Mrs. Fowler and Mrs. Range stamped homework –
6. Reminded students they’ll need to document their writing process so to turn this work in with their final typed copy tomorrow:

1. Story Map: graphic organizer for the basic details of a story project they are preparing for tomorrow.
2. Rough draft of story, in the past (childhood), providing an opportunity to incorporate both the preterit and imperfect.

III. Individual work time on project: Students may work on either revising their writing and/or on their visuals.
