This week I taught the students different ways to write dialogue. They also wrote their rough drafts for their memoirs. Next week they will finish revising and editing their rough drafts on Monday and type their final drafts on Tuesday. They need to be finished by the time they return from break on November 27th. The rough drafts I have read so far are amazing.
