Short Story Process

Create your full draft and analysis

  • Work on finishing up your draft story and analysis. 
  • Type it. 
  • Remember to save to your h:/ drive. If you save it in your "public html" folder it can be found by any computer at www.krss.sd57.bc.ca/~your.login (for homework purposes).
  • Print off your typed draft story and analysis. 

Self-Assessment

  •  Complete the self assessment sheet. 
  • Show this to the teacher.
  • Make any necessary changes to your story and analysis to meet the requirements.

Peer Assessment

  • Find a partner who is also done self assessing. 
  • Have him or her read your story and complete the peer assessment. 
  • Discuss the feedback.
  • If possible, complete peer assessment with a second partner.
  • Make changes to typed version based on feedback. 
  • Proofread carefully. 
  • Print off your good copy.


Read ALOUD 

  • Not done yet... 
  • Read ALOUD the printed copy of your story and analysis to a friend (if you really want to do this alone, read it ALOUD to yourself). 
  • Keep track of any confusing parts or errors. 
  • Make changes to your typed copy.
  • Proofread carefully.
  • Print off your NEW good copy.

Self-Assess Final Check

  • Read the assignment outline and rubric carefully (can be found on this blog). 
  • Read over your story and analysis one last time
  • Give yourself a mark on the rubric. 
  • If there is a significant difference (1 full level) between my mark for your assignment and your mark for yourself, we will have a meeting to discuss errors with the rubric and/or areas of need in self-assessment. 

Pre-Hand-In Check

  • Is your story and analysis 12-pt font?
  • Is your story and analysis Ariel or Times New Roman font?
  • Is your story and analysis double spaced?
  • Does your story have an original title (not Unit Assignment, Short Story etc.)?
  • Is your name on all your work?

Hand In

  • Good copy of short story
  • Draft of short story
  • Good copy of analysis
  • Rubric for short story where you assessed your work
