Composition Process

We were finishing the final composition of our December folders on Thursday, and the boys were busy conducting partner reviews. The composition process begins with a day of brainstorming and webplanning, a second day to write the first paragraph, and a final day to write the second paragraph and proof-read. Proof-reading involves independently reading and completing a checklist with a partner that includes personal writing goals and the general mechanical and structual components of writing covered in grammar. This week we focused on proper conjunction use, which helped many students correctly integrate complex sentences into their writing.
