Students

1. Finish LFL poster

2. Self-Edit using checklist

3. Peer-Edit using checklist

Remind students that compliments are REQUIRED in peer editing! And so is being polite.

Walk through how to reframe these sentences.

Your spelling is bad.

I don’t like your picture, it’s ugly.

Your sentences are stupid and don’t make sense.

Read through the checklist briefly so kids know what they are doing and set them free.

Let them know that if they want to rewatch any videos about how to do advanced searching or how to make a poster they can go to my website.

Tell students that at the end of the month you will pick the best 5 or so and then they will vote on which one they want.

Questions: Do they want a Theme?

What would represent Roosevelt as a school?
