Every student will have their own journal and complete a rough draft (sloppy copy) and then publish their works on a computer. There will also be some days that there will be free write. A free write day includes an informal piece that the students write about anything they would like and it won't be corrected.

- Detailed sentences (Make them juicy!)- A power sentence of at least 6 words!
- Straight margins (start at the bold red line)
- Neat handwriting
