Final+Copy


 * =Elements of Teacher's Role for the Final Copy=


 * - Model appearance expectations for the final copy** //"Tell author that his goal for the final copy is to produce his "best work" or masterpiece" (84).// Seems to indicate that the final paper does not, and cannot be "perfect." Plays into the idea that no writing is ever really finsihed, yet thought out extensively enough to convey meaningful thoughts and information.


 * - Provide the time, space, and materials to write the Neat Sheet** Be open with students about what hey will need to produce their "best work."


 * - Let the student choose the Write Spot where he can work alone and concentrate** Allow students to compose at their comfort level and in their comfort zone.


 * -Provide quality writing implements and the appropriate paper for the authors** //"Remember, the goal is to improve writing, not to perfect it" (84).// Plays into the writing needs of the individual student. Promote strengths, analyze wekanesses, and encourage growth in writing craft.
