Editing Quiz/Deadlines next Tuesday

Today we took and copy editing quiz.  How did you do?

Just a reminder that your first deadline is next Tuesday.  This means you need to have your story ready to go to your editors by Tuesday.  Meeting deadlines is a major component of your grade.

Make sure your writing is interesting, non-homework like, and appropriate for the audience (your peers).

Also, make sure you know what stories you will be working on for your next deadline.  If you need an assignment, talk to Mrs. Meeks.
