Writing Process

In writer's workshop, we are learning the steps of the writing process: prewrite, draft, revise, edit, and publish.  While we will not always go through this process for our work, we will definitely do it several times in second grade.  After drafting our personal narratives and revising them, we finally worked with our writing buddies Friday for the editing step.  Each buddy was in charge of looking for correct spelling, capitals, and punctuation in their partner's story.  The best part?  Using a red pen!  Monday, authors will take their corrected stories and publish them onto new paper with an illustration.  Start looking for writing binders to come home in the upcoming weeks!
