![]() ![]() PLEASE NOTE: Even though this will be published on 6/27, I’m writing it on 6/26 prior tocompleting the final draft of my essay for Kelly’s section. Want to take a look at my flash drafts? Here are some links to the original ones, as well as my initial revisions. That is, after we flash-drafted, we looked at what we did well as writers and marked it “glow.” Then, wherever we needed to improve our writing, we marked it “grow.” (I marked mine up using Skitch so it would synch with my Evernote.) Kelly encouraged us to use the learning progression, which you’ll find in the Pathways book, which comes with each grade level’s Unit of Study set, to do a Glow and Grow. My flash drafts and my initial revisions of my flash drafts were anything but perfect. This week, I learned that flash-drafting doesn’t afford a writer with making it perfect. I do this because I want to make make sure my thoughts are as succinct as they can possibly be. ![]() I type, I cut, I paste, I cut some more, I copy, etc. Here’s why.įlash-drafting unnerved me because I’m used to taking my time with writing. I have found the process scary and liberating all at once. Kelly Boland Hohne has been my section leader for “Raise the Level of Literature-Based and Research-Based Argument Essays.” In the past week, I’ve written two flash drafts, one literary essay and one research-based essay. I’ve been at the TCRWP’s June Writing Institute this week. You can read more about flash drafts at Moving Writers.
