And what shall come out of us?

So, first, we’re looking at rough drafts. You’ll need 3 peer editors.

Editor 1: Dialogue, description, and writing like All Quiet. Read and note where the writer has strong dialogue and description. If the writing could use more, suggest places where dialogue and description could help. Also, look for places that seem a bit more 21st century and should be changed to be more at home in WWI.

Editor 2: Evidence of WWI info…See where the writer has included information and specific details that remind you of WWI. Example: I loved my Grossflammenwerfer more than my own mother.

Editor 3: Grammar and Mechanics…Note typos and mistakes in spelling, punctuation, and grammar.

Then, I’ll give you some time to write.

Next, we’ll do a little work with Chapter 10, taking 4 quotes, summarizing them, and commenting on their significance.

Finally, I hope to get a headstart on Chapter 11 in class.

HW: Read the rest of the book (due next Tuesday) and continue working on your More Lies story (next Thursday). We’ll take a final exam on Thursday.
