Writer’s Workshop – Evaluating and Revising Stories

Lesson Plan: 03/22/2010

Objective: Students will evaluate and revise their personal narrative stories.

Procedures:

1. Students will be sitting in front of the Promethean Board

2. I will review the small moment story I created on Friday

3. I will review the need for a beginning, middle, and end in the story

4. I will ask the students if they know what “evaluate” means

5. Based on the student’s knowledge of the word evaluation, I will give a brief
definition. I will tell the students that authors do not just write a story in one day.
They go back over their writing and "evaluate" it, and revise it to make it better.

6. The students will review my “small moment” story and help me revise it. I will
ask them where I can add more detail and personal voice, to make my story more
interesting.

7. The students will go back to their seats, get out their green notebooks, and
evaluate and revise the stories they composed from the day before.
