Being Critical Readers

Today we looked carefully at some other fifth graders' writing..  Your children used a checklist of what is expected in 5th grade writing and looked carefully at someone else's work.  They did an amazing job and were totally engaged.  After this, they then tried to be critical readers of their own work to improve their own pieces.

It is so much easier to find errors in someone else's  writing!!

He was supposed to be looking at the writing, NOT the camera!
