Writing Process

Students brainstormed a few elements
of an introduction in an essay.

The beginnings of a thesis statement. Students
identified their point of view Okonkwo and will develop
their essay with evidence from the text.  

A student's interpretation of Okonkwo along with a character analysis. 

Students move from 4 square writing to another
graphic organizer detailing their first paragraph in
their persuasive essay.  

Another example of student work. 

Students conducted peer editing. Students worked in pairs
and provided suggestions to each other. 

During peer editing, the partner suggested changing
the word "power" to "social status" since
it is a vocabulary word studied this month.
Excellent idea!!:-) He helped him make the change :-)
