This week, my students received Mission #4. I gave them their mission on Tuesday. First, they had to decode the message.
For this mission, students had to plan and write a story based on a past spy experience. It could not contain any information about "The One", since that is their current mission. They were given a planning page to help them prepare their story.
Once they completed their planning page, they were able to start their rough draft.
For the revising and editing, they used a checklist that I had up on the Mimio. Then, they got with a partner and read their paper aloud to each other. They also helped edit each other's papers.
Some started publishing on Friday. They will wrap up their mission tomorrow and we will move on to Mission #5.
Overall, I've been very impressed with the stories I've read so far. They have put more thought and effort into this writing piece than any other piece we've had all year. I can't wait to share their stories with you.
