  6. The Writing Process The focus is on the process approach to writing: prewriting, drafting, revising and peer editing. Students will learn strategies for working collaboratively to offer and accept criticism. Students will reflect on the revision and writing process after the peer review sessions.

  7. The Composition Notebook Group Reviews Outside Readings • These are after-the-fact analyses of the in-class groups. • Reflective writing is the goal in group reviews. • Students should identify the progression of their writing from review to review. • Students must choose 4 book passages or poems that relate to a common theme. • They will analyze these passages for author’s purpose, mood/tone/style/diction/ syntax/phrasing.

  8. Feature Article Students are to pick a topic that has literary merit, relevance and interest. Topics might range from quaint coffee shops to a local artist. Students will perform research, conduct interviews, type up transcripts and utilize appropriate revision strategies.

  9. Review Students will write a movie or book review. Students will first study and critique published reviews, analyze different styles, and submit a practice review. Review topics may include Academy Award nominees, Grammy nominees, literary novels, or Nobel Prize-winners.

  10. Layout and Design Students will work in independent and collaborative settings. They will create spreads that demonstrate an understanding of design elements (dominance, white space, typography, balance, unity, contrast, repetition, harmony). They will use several different mediums including graphic elements, photography and art. Students will focus on finding inspiration from modern design trends.

  11. Judging Students will number submissions and judge them anonymously. Judging is crucial to the success of the magazine, and all students are expected to evaluate honestly and without bias.
