Elaboration Stations

In class we are working on improving our writing skills and applying those skills to the timed writings. We have explored seven different methods of elaboration as follows:

In class we tried out each elaboration technique and then we did an activity where we looked at several paragraphs and then teams identified which elaboration strategy the writer has used. Now students are rewriting their timed writing response (#2 or #3) and employing and labeling the elaboration they are using.

These rewrites are due in class Wednesday, January 5th for A day and Thursday, January 6th for B day.
