We completed Atticus' essay on " A Long Walk to Water" during today's class. First, we studied the text and discussed how to conclude the second paragraph in a way that addresses the essay prompt .I then reviewed the purpose of a conclusion ,and we examined different approaches and ideas to incorporate into the final paragraph . After Atticus drafted his conclusion paragraph , I provided editing suggestions including how to improve word choice, and how to correct fragments and shifting verb tenses. Atticus was able to recognize how to address all of the editing suggestions and completed all of the revisions.
