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!

Daily Lenses 1-4
While I have always known the value of frequent writing, I became particularly inspired to incorporate more creative writing experiences after attending several English conferences on the importance of writing. Widening my perspective on writing, I concluded that writing is writing, and not all writing has to be in the form of an essay!I developed what I call the "Daily Lens" which allows students a creative opportunity to write for 10 minutes at the start of the period.
