Chapters

The first 3-5 hand written pages of your story is Chapter One.  Your completed Chapter One was due last Thursday.  If you entered the class late, you are working to catch up, and we have made specific plans, noted in your folder on your Writing Conference Documentation Form.

Once you have completed Chapter One, you must have a writing conference with me.  Then do the following:
1. Read the comments from our writing conference
2. Correct your grammar, spelling and punctuation mistakes using editor's marks
3. Show me your corrections
4. Re-write, as necessary.

In order to correct your mistakes, please use the editor's marks I described in class.  If you were not in attendance, you may find a reasonable facsimile of what I said about editor's marks here.  Please use editor's marks to correct your own work.  See me for more information, if you are still not sure how to use them correctly.

Once these four steps are completed, you may begin to write Chapter Two.
