This week students will be drafting, revising and editing their informative writing pieces on the Character Traits of a Best Friend. Students used error analysis to grade writing examples using the rubric. This gave students a clear picture of basic (McDonald's burger), proficient (Wegman's burger) and advanced (Red Robin burger) writing. We all agreed, the juicier the writing, the better! Students were also encouraged to "hook" the reader with a strong introduction using a quote, a question, an anecdote or a statement about friendship. How will you hook your reader in the opening paragraph?
