Last week, students completed their Hero Definition Essays and reflected on the process. I have enjoyed reading these essays for multiple reasons: 1) the growth that I have seen in their writing is AMAZING, 2) many of the students chose to write about their families as their personal heroes (I hope they share them with you or have shared them with you), and 3) their true personality was able to come out in this essay a little bit more than the previous two essays. You can check out their essays and their reflections on their blogs by clicking here!
I have left comments for the students in Google Classroom as a private comment for what their next writing steps should be and the main focus to improve their future essays. Please click here to see exemplar essays from the following students: 1) Annelise, 2) Madi, 3) Sharleen, 4) Sajda, 5) Julianna, 6) AnnMarie, 7) Shayla, 8) Erin, 9) Danielle, 10) Tanisha, 11) Melissa, 12) John, 13) Briana, and 14) Payten (these are not in any particular order, but all of these students met or exceeded the standard on this essay).
Since this was not a guided essay, students that did not meet the standard that they intended to meet are able to redo the essay using this sheet. The redo will be due Wednesday, November 29 to Google Classroom (resubmit essay) and turn in a paper copy of the filled out redo sheet.
