• • Continue magazine project
  • After writing my article’s first draft I have…
    • Shared my article with at least TWO peers who have provided feedback and have not only read the article, but have checked over my work for punctuation, grammar, and spelling.
    • I have contributed to at least TWO peers by providing feedback on their article. Quality feedback is not “this was good” or “this was bad” or “I liked it.” Feedback needs to be specific. Look at
    1) grammar, punctuation, and spelling, 2) what the writer is communicating, 3) what the rubric states the article needs and I have shared what I believe my peer might be missing in the rubric.
    • I have revised my article utilizing peer feedback and my own double-checking of my work.
    • I have gone over the rubric and have verified that everything mandated in the rubric is in my magazine article
