3. Short Story Unit Final: Theme Essay!
Your first job will be to create your rough draft and share it with me (almost none of you have).
Remember, this is your rough draft – it should be on a different document than your outline and should not have any elements of the outline. It should be in paragraph format like your final draft will be.

4. Short Story Unit Final: Theme Essay!
Find a partner and share your rough drafts with each other.
Complete the revision checklist for your partner. In addition to completing the check list, be sure to leave at least ten constructive comments on your partner’s rough draft.
Consider: What could they improve upon? What grammatical issues do you see? What do you have questions about?
