Reflecting on our rough drafts

Today we turned in our rough drafts to our multi-genre projects. We spent most of the hour writing a reflection on the rough draft (see below) and then we watched a bit of Malcolm X

Sophomore English – Multi-genre Rough Draft Day!

First, decide in what order your writings should appear (which one first, second, etc.). Arrange them so that they’re in that order.

Second, on a sheet of line paper, you will write several brief paragraphs. The first paragraph will be about your first piece of writing; the second paragraph will be about your second, and so on.

For each paragraph:
· Tell me the title of your piece and what genre it is.
· How is this piece of writing meaningful to you?
· What do you like about this piece of writing?
· What made you want to write it?
· If you had any difficulties or challenges in writing this piece, describe them.
· How do you want the reader to feel when they get done reading this piece?
· What types of revision help do you hope to get?

Third, write a final paragraph about
· Why you decided to put the writings in the order that you did.
· How you feel about the project overall.

When finished, you may begin the homework reading for tomorrow (pp.184-194) or you may work on making revisions/changes to the draft in front of you.
