Remember your writing prompt from the beginning of the school year. Post your final drafts here. This means use what you have already typed or retype your prompt response in Microsoft Word. You will then copy and past your final draft as a comment on the blog (see below for details of a final draft). You will not be able to post Word Art and Pictures. Remember at the end of your submission to write your name (first only), teacher's name, and your reviewers name(s) then submit as an anonymous user .

What is a final draft?
A final draft should be a response that you have spent a little time on and had reviewed by others (at least 2 students/1 adult).

The Review
As a reviewer, a few things you should let the writer know:

(1) what you really liked
(2) what you were confused about
(3) what you want to know more about

The writer can use these types of comments to develop their piece (example: their prompt response).
