Will came to his session with a completed rough draft of his essay on the “Amazon Go” article that he read in class last week. I am pleased that he was able to complete this work for homework, since on Wednesday he expressed reservations about being able to do it independently. It was well written and concise. I believe the double entry graphic organizer really helped him to draft his essay and include all the pertinent facts from the article. We reviewed his rough draft and found very few punctuation or grammar errors. Will wanted to be assured that all his sentences were correct, and we talked about the difference between a rough draft and a final copy. I reassured him that it was okay to make changes after you have had a chance to get away from a piece for a while. I also tried to help him understand that the rough draft will usually not be completely error free since it is a starting point for writing and that writing is a process. Once he completed the editing process, he typed the final copy, did a final review and printed out a hard copy. He did a fabulous job on this assignment and worked very diligently. Bravo!
