Hi everyone,

Just one more week, and you'll be finished your research paper.  You must be relieved!!

Peer Editing Discussions:
In the first part of our lesson, you discussed your peer editing activities with your partner.  When you edit/revise your conclusion, you can use your partner's comments.  Also, check corrections I've made in your research paper.  You may have made the same errors in your conclusion. 

Conferences:
For our lesson next week, I'll talk to the remaining students about your drafts.  Make sure you prepare your questions because I'll only have about 5 minutes to talk with you.
