HOW TO EDIT YOUR STORY

So far, you have already created your story. Now, the idea is to check some elements in order to improve it. The first filter is going to be your teacher. She will revise the text to note some advice or commentaries related to the text structure, drafting, grammar and content. Once she has finished, you must edit your story, taking into account all the commentaries the teacher has noted in your text.

Then, there will be a second filter: one of your classmates.

In this second part of the edition, one of your classmates may use a format which has been included into this section (below). It contains some questions that second editor will answer according to your story. This time focused mainly in the structure, and the content.
