Tonight, you need to revise the edition of the story you brought to class with you today. Using a different color ink, you need to continue the revision process on your episode of dialogue. That means you need to cross words out and write better words, add details to clarify meaning, adjust your speaker tags so that they are descriptive, etc. Then, rewrite your draft so that you have a sloppy copy and a clean copy. Tomorrow, you will need to come to class with the rubric, a sloppy copy, and a clean copy to turn in.
