Stations!

You will be given the opportunity today to practice different methods of revision. At each station, you will find a new seat and go to the directions on your Google Classroom document. Read the directions aloud to each other and begin.

There are 6 stations:

• STATION ONE - TEACHER CONFERENCE
• STATION TWO - STRONG VERBS/DIALOGUE
• STATION THREE - SENSORY DETAILS/SNAPSHOT
• STATION FOUR - PEER CONFERENCE
• STATION FIVE - CONTROL OF CONVENTIONS
• STATION SIX - HOOKS AND CLOSINGS

You will find a document with directions for each station on Google Classroom. Each station will require you to review a concept. It may also include a video lesson about the given topic, and a discussion to be had with your table. 

Each station requires you to use YOUR ESSAY to work on improvements and share ideas. If you leave today with nothing changed or no plan for improvement, you have not used your time in a way that is helpful.

Ms. Black will not be able to help you with the stations because she IS a station. That means that if you are confused, you will have to work together to solve the issue. The only exception is if the video doesn't work. If that happens, then Ms. Black needs to know ASAP.

You will have a 17 minute timer for each station.
