The following is David’s response to an exercise in which students were to list ideas for improving their own writing in the form of a letter to themselves, using the rubric found in Table 3.2:

Dear self,

Write more. Include D.S. [detail sentences] and C.S. [closing sentences]. Put more sentences in. Put more details and examples. ANSWER THE QUESTION!!

Put information in logical order. Add $100 words. Add more sentences. Excite writer.

The following is David’s revised writing sample, produced on December 2001:

The fable teaches that if you want something, you have to work hard for it. The dog asked the wolf to work for the master. Then he could get food to eat.

The wolf thought that work would be a cinch. The dog was very well-fed. Actually, the work was more tiring than other he did by himself.

The dog got so much food because he had been guarding the master’s house. Then, the wolf ran back into the forest. But even though the wolf didn’t get any food at the master’s house, the wolf can still find food in the forest.

Maybe a bird. At least I think a bird is easy to hunt. Well, for a fleet-footed animal.
