My Once Upon a Time, Lesson 9: Polish
April 21 @ 11:00 am – 12:30 pm CDT
Lesson 9 — Polish
What we learned today: Editing is the final pass. Three-pass system: 1. Read aloud — mark anything that sounds wrong; 2. Target hunt — check for grammar errors. 3. Final read — does this feel finished? Your title is part of the story — specific and surprising, never “My Story.”
What we practiced: We completed the three-pass edit. We chose our final title (three options, then one). We completed the Submission Template and prepared our photograph.
What belongs in your Story Notebook from this lesson: Final edited story; Three title options — final title chosen and circled; Completed Submission Template
If you missed this class, do this first: Complete the three-pass edit on your story. Write three possible titles and choose the strongest. Complete the Submission Template. Prepare your photograph with your name on the back. Submit all three items to your teacher. Your story is ready to share with the world.
