Sessions # 1.2 and 1.3

__** Title of lesson: **__ // Edit, revisit, revise, reflect //

__** Description of lesson: **__ // Students will be introduced to the ideas of editing. They will learn the steps needed to create a polished piece. The importance of molding the formless mass of a first draft into a final draft by plucking out the gold from the mud will be stressed in this lesson. By the end of the class, students will realize that writing is never really done, there is just a deadline. //

Assignment: **2) Editing Timeline-** //I will present an editing timeline and lecture on it. (25 min)// **3) Change Discussion-** //As a class, we will discuss what change is and what it means to us all. (10 min)// **4) Change Discussion-** //In small groups, we will discuss events that changed us. (10 min)//
 * 1) Free write (anticipatory set)- //Students will free write, in their journals, on the following quote.// **// "I'm a big fan of editing and keeping only the interesting bits in."-Sarah Vowel (10 min) //

Resources/materials needed:

media type="custom" key="9186800" Technology reflection: //Without the use of the scavenger hunt, students would be less familiar with the idea of editing. We would also have to spend an entire class period talking about how to edit and the importance of editing. Instead, we can jump into the idea of change and explore that further.//

Evaluation: // I would have to make sure that the students really understand that editing is a continual process and the final draft simply means "stop where you are." //
