Peer-Editing Process • Today you will utilize each other’s wisdom and ability to peer-edit. • It is very important that you stay focused and give your peers the best editing experience possible. • After peer editing, have a parent edit your paper as well to check for minor mistakes. • We will begin typing our final drafts tomorrow, 9/25.

  2. Revising and Editing • It is useful to think of revising and editing as separate processes. • Basically, we take revision to be a continual process of writing and re-writing. • Editing focuses more on stylistic and grammatical points once you have an acceptable draft.

You should have at least 5 details in your narrative about the setting.

  7. SENSORY DETAILS • These are the details that are seen, heard, tasted, smelled, and felt (not emotions).
