Yesterday you read through one specific area on the six traits rubric (voice, word choice, or idea development). You defined it and examined how one author incorporated the trait effectively and ineffectively into a story.
Read through the other two traits that you did not read about yesterday.
Pick one paragraph or a short passage from your narrative draft that needs some work in any or all of the following areas: word choice, voice, or idea development.
Type the passage on your blog, and explain what you are struggling with about it. You may say something like, "I feel like my words are not very creative. What are some better words I could use?" or "Do you understand the main message of my story? What do you think I am trying to say?" Include a question you want answered.
Post it, and then visit the blogs of your group members. Read their passages and comments, and give them at least one tip about improving their piece. Be specific. If someone says, "My mom is nice and funny" don't tell her to just change it. Give them specific words they could use that are more vivid.
When you have finished, complete the next blog assignment.
