Narrative Revising and Editing Checklist (Self and Peer)
This checklist is used after students have written narrative stories. They will go through their stories with the checklist independently first. Then they will have a classmate use the same checklist to read their story. At the end, the peer can leave comments with advice and feedback. This has been helpful in building independence during writing, rather than having a line waiting for me to read their stories!

Funny, 2-Page Dialogue that Teaches the Rules of Writing Dialogue
“Ahhhh!” A scream pierced the air. It was my English teacher, reading an incorrectly punctuated line of dialogue for the 178th time in two days. Clearly she had reached her breaking point.

I wanted to focus on three types of hooks: asking a question, stating a fact, and painting a picture. There are many other types, but in the interest of not overwhelming them, I chose these three types. Enjoy!
