Editors-in-Chief

We have been wedging every square inch of worktime into our days lately, and today was no exception.

Now you all have an assignment. The kids have edited each other's rough drafts twice now. I haven't looked at them except to tell a few of the kids that they need a bit more...meat...in their papers. (A couple of them looked awfully anemic.) So it's your turn now to edit them, look through them and tell them where they could add some more information, awkward wording, and when something is unclear.

Don't worry! I'm not going to grade your editing. I will make the final edits after they've done their revisions over the weekend. I just want a grown-up pair of eyes to look at them and let them know what you think.
