Next, we peer edited our memoir 2's, with our rubrics out and at the ready. Make sure when peer editing you give compliments but also more constructive criticism so that the author of the piece is able to reflect on what to change for next time.
HOMEWORK:
Memoir 3 will be due Monday for peer editing.
Read, annotate and have 3 questions for This Way to the Gas Ladies and Gentlemen. Don't forget to do background information on the author of this short story, Tadeusz Borowski
Have a great day!
