Monday: Edit Sunday's Posts and Plan with Group

OMLI rocks. Say it with me... You did an awesome job on your first posts. Every writer knows that writing requires some rewriting. It's fun stuff!
Before you blog about your activities on Monday, do the following: (5 min)

  • Look at your post and edit it with a parnter. (Read it out loud.)
    • Does it have your name in the title and does it describe the post's content?
    • Do all of your sentences begin with a capital letter and end with punctuation?
    • Is your "I" capitalized? It doesn't want to be a small i. Don't hurt it's feelings.
    • Is everything spelled correctly? (You can use the spell checker.)
    • Can you suggest a way for your partner to develop his/her ideas or to add details?
  • Talk to your group about your plan.
    • Are you all working on using similar labels?
    • Are you using the same font? or colors? etc.

Happy blogging!
