We did not get into the writing lab today. My plan is to use GoMyAccess to revise the papers. If your child used it last you, I think you know a little bit about the program. Basically, it is used to score papers by computer. It works best when students write prompts from the program, but it can still give general feedback for self-generated prompts from the teacher.
Homework for tonight is completing the sentence unit 3. The students should also have a draft of their essay ready to enter into the computer tomorrow. We will be focusing on revising the introductions, word choice, and transitions. Word choice and transitions are easily scored by the computer. Their scores should go up when they add better words.
