Students will listen to a reading of Dr. Seuss' and Jack Prelutsky's "Hooray for Difendoofer Day!" Students will then work cooperatively to edit one another's rough drafts of analytical essay, focusing on openers and closures.
Students will study various typefaces in terms of their line quality and shape. Then they will use various editing functions in a word processor to create a text document whose typefaces "show" a particular emotion.
"Mumbling together" is a strategy students can use to edit their own writing and develop an ear for correct language. Students learn to proofread by reading their first drafts aloud to identify left-out words and other errors.
Students will learn how to revise and edit an essay. In particular, they will focus on pronoun agreement. This is the third lesson in a series of three based upon LEARN NC's 9th grade writing exemplars.
