Mini Lesson:
Teacher will explain that one piece from each of the groups has been chosen to be put in
the published newsletter by members of another group. Each member of the group may
have another chance to get published during a different week. Students chose based off
of the material in an article.
I will describe each of the jobs in the groups. They will listen to all of the job
descriptions and discuss which one they prefer (if a decision cannot be made between
them then I will assign them a job). The jobs will include: grammar police, topic
teachers, and layout leaders. I will tell the students each job duty: grammar will look at
the grammar (what we talked about on Monday), topic teachers will make sure that the
article stays on topic and includes the most important parts (and gets rid of what is not
important), and layout leaders will look at the layout of the article and make it look
ready for the paper (Do the sentences flow, is it long enough, is it typed?).
Students will then break into their topic groups for the newsletter; they will begin
editing their pieces. Once each of the jobs has been done they will talk as a group about
the article. Then they will bring the article to me, we will discuss the changes that they
have made and why they think the changes are important
*At the end students will journal about their weaknesses and strengths as a writer *
