Today I'd like you to watch the video below to review the 6 Traits of Writing. Then begin typing your "I once saw the most amazing thing" paper. Please type it in Georgia Font size 14. This makes it easier for me to grade. Think about the 6 Traits as you type your paper. Don't be afraid to change something from your original draft. That is how good writing evolves. You must be willing to let go of your original work and improve it. Edit as you write, and save it as "Amazing" either in Google Docs or your flash drive. Use the edit checklist to guide you through your editing process.
