~~ Revision Workshop ~~

Directions: In a small group, evaluate one another's papers. Read and discuss one paper at a time.

  1. Check, once again, for improvements that might be necessary concerning focus, organization, or development.
  2. Evaluate each paper for style, narrative elements like description and dialogue, and overall expressiveness.
