Creative Writing (Turtle) Final Draft

We have made it almost all the way through the writing process. We are now ready to begin the final draft! Here are the requirements (also provided in class) for the final draft of your creative narrative.

• The final draft MUST have the proper English heading (Name, Oliveira, Date, & Period ___ on the left side with the title centered)
• You need to come up with a creative title for your story. Your title should replace the rough draft title "Creative Writing (Turtle)" in the center of the page.
• The final draft should be written neatly in pen.
• Do not skip lines between paragraphs. 
• Be sure the published final draft is free of all errors (punctuation, spelling, grammar, capitalization).

The published final draft is due on Monday, 8/31/15. 

I can't wait to read all of the creative stories!

Creative Writing (Turtle)

We will begin a creative writing piece. Students are required to write their story from this picture prompt. Students should tell the story behind this picture. This picture may represent the beginning, middle, or end of their story. The story should be 2-4 pages in length. 

We will work on this story throughout the week. Students will take it through the writing process including drafting, editing, revising, and publishing. The final draft will be due on Monday, 8/31/15. 

COPS Editing Reminders

We will use the COPS editing reminders every time we take a piece of writing through the writing process. This information should stay in the "Notes" section of your binder.

C- capitalization
O- organization 
P- punctuation
S- spelling
