Posts Tagged ‘author’s choice’Class Project: ROUGH DRAFTS!!Written on Thursday, January 21st, 2010 [permanent link]Be a part of my next book!! As your students work on their writing skills, I’d love to have them practice by editing ME. I’m posting more and more on my website about the author’s choices I make, and I’ve just added some rough draft pages from my upcoming book about World War I. http://www.chestercomix.com/rough-drafts/ The rough drafts are the second step in my Creative Trail. (The first is research – When I pick a topic, I love the hunt for information I will use to tell the story the way I want to tell it.) I hope that inviting students into this second step with me will excite them about the creative process. Teachers can print these rough draft pages and give them to students to review and correct. Now, for once, the students get to be the editor! I’d love to get feedback from teachers and students via email or via a snail mail return of the pages, marked in red or green or purple or whatever color the students want to use to mark their suggestions. I will take all suggestions into consideration before making my final author’s choices on these pages. Classes who make real contributions to this story will get signed copies of the final book!
