Learning Focus:
I can…

• create a title that is appropriate to a short story
• edit for spelling, punctuation and capitalization
• use resources for editing

Opening:

1. On your final draft, write a title that you think "grabs" a reader and gives them a big hint about the story.  Make sure it lets the reader PREDICT what the story MIGHT be about.

Work Period:

2. Create a publishable draft

• Make sure it is error-free
• Follow the rules of writing dialogue
• Double-Check the spelling of words that MIGHT be incorrect
• Check your grammar and punctuation
• Use the tools available to you to create a error-free draft

Closing:

3. Volunteers Needed: Who wants to read a hook or a favorite section of a story?
