Bell Ringer
Take a moment to share your short stories with your group members on Google Docs. Remember, go to the share settings. Type in the gmail addresses of all of your group members (remember to be exact). You don't have to share it with me; I will grade the finished papers off your blogs. If yours is not on Google Docs yet, get it there quickly! Your group must have access to your paper before you get to the peer review stations. ==Mini-Lesson (10 min per station- peer revision stations may need 15 min) == Today we are doing Revision Stations! Your group will move together to each station, taking on the revising challenge in each. Have evidence that you have completed each station's challenge, either on paper or in your short story draft. By the end of the day, your short stories will be awesome!

Use the descriptors page to help you. There should be talking going on at this station; it's the conversation that will REALLY help! Areas Addressed: sentence structure, paragraphing, capitalization, consistency of verb tense, and punctuation

Independent Reading/Writing Time
Once your group has moved through each station, you need to put the finishing touches on your story. Make sure it is the BEST STORY EVER! Once you've accomplished this, post your completed story on your blog. Make sure to title it (like, a real title!) and label it "short story." Copy the link in the address bar of your story, and paste it into a reply to the correct link in the discussion board for "Short Stories" for your class.
