Day 19 & 20 Interesting and Clear #teach180

Interesting and clear: that's what good writing should be. I hope that by the time, my students leave grade seven, they will have this burned in their heads (only figuratively, I am certain my principal will not allow branding(or the legal system)). These are the ideas that I want students to be thinking when they come to a keyboard, pick up a pen, or even text. What are you writing; what are you communicating, and what is the best way to have that message received?

Today I had students review each others work, for these core components, and it worked just shy above mediocre. I know this is going to be a long process, and I am still looking for better ways for students to become editors. They are pretty good writers, but they can do so much more, and that is mainly from revising. We will see. Anyone have any hints?
