I'm not sure of the best way to do this so I am just gonna read through the pacing guide and give the number and summary of the action in kind of a list fashion.
2.e: Utilize peer feedback, style manuals, and electronic tools to revise, edit, and evaluate their own texts. This one is pretty straight forward. During the process of writing your drafts you use peer editing and revision to improve the end product of your rough drafts.
2.I: Rehearse, plan, and organize writing by employing a variety of strategies and rhetorical styles. I would call this pre writing. This is all of the little processes you go through before you actually write your first draft. You gather all of your ideas and plan the topics of all your paragraphs.
(unable to read number): Exhibit skillful use of language, using a varied, accurate, and apt vocabulary. When you write a paper like the This I Believe essay, you have to create a tone of voice for yourself by using the right words. You need to be able to express why it is that you believe what you do.
3.a: Discern and intentionally use informal and formal registers of English, literary and rhetorical language, and standard conventions to address audience, purpose, context, style, and clarity.
You need to be able to convey emotions as clearly as possible when writing about a belief you live by. Using the right words and sentence structure will ensure that your paper is interpreted the way that you would want it to be.
4.d: Critique the style, organization, and content of writing and oral presentations.
In all writing assignments, you need to be able to see the errors in either your own, or an others work. If you can critique your own work then you are doing yourself a favor. During this essay I know I will be rewriting a lot of things, and that is why I think this particular skill will be used on the This I Believe paper.
5.b: Eliminate all forms of plagiarism.
This is a no brainer. Taking someones belief and calling it your own wouldn't be to cool. Even if you do believe what they wrote about, it's not your work.
After scanning through the Pacing Guide, these were all of the parts that applied to the This I Believe essay.
Wow... good job. The test here is can you break down a complex technical writing piece and connect it to what you are doing? The curriculum guide is a great place for you to start taking notes and translate the jargon into common words and phrases you will understand. Nice job Andrew... You impress me.
