Writing Workshop: Paragraph Feedback

Today, students provided feedback regarding 3 student-authored samples from yesterday's in-class Compare and Contrast Paragraph activity. The passages were anonymous when examined.

Each of the 3 sample passages featured several strengths and weaknesses. Students identified these and provided commentary, marking their notes with a + for Strengths and a - for weaknesses.

Here is a .pdf of the sample passages, with the student names removed. I cannot tell you what the exact notes were that students too, as each class provided a unique perspective. If you missed today, please read these passages, and then ask to see a classmates notes from your class period.
