Captures Ideas
Writing that has no correct
answer - or if there is a correct answer
it's okay to guess. One draft.
Respond Correctly
Writing that makes a point - has correct
answer or content. One draft.
Edit for FCAs
Writing that is read out loud
and reviewed by the author who then asks three critical questions:
Does it complete the assignment? Is it easy
to read? Does it fulfill the focus correction areas?
One draft.
Peer Edit for FCAs
Writing that is Type Three writing andhas been
read out loud and
critiqued by another. Two Drafts.
Publish
Writing that is publishable, that can go outside the
classroom without explanation or qualification. Multiple drafts.
For all types, skiplines. For Type One and Type
Two, label the type on the top left-hand side
of paper. For Types Three and Four, list focus
correction areas on top left-hand side.
