Awesome Writing Goals

Last week in our table groups we discussed what some great writing goals would be.  We brought our ideas together as a class and now have a list of goals to use.  When we edit our buddy's writing and when we're coming up with goals for ourselves we can use this list.  Here are the goals:

Awesome Writing Goals

  • Increase the amount of my writing
  • interesting/engaging words - thesaurus / dictionary - disco words
    • strong nouns and verbs
  • punctuation
  • Openers and connectors
    • Use different sentence starters and words to connect sentences.
  • Focused writing
  • Paragraphs
  • Vary sentence lengths
  • Add detail
  • Structure my writing - sequence it (order events)
  • Write in the same tense (past/present)
  • Strong personal voice - i.e sense of humour
  • Editing my writing to make it stronger. This could mean removing words, adding new ones, changing sentences, etc
  • Brainstorming
  • Add senses and feelings/thoughts to my writing to make it stronger
  • Show and don’t always tell the reader
  • Spelling
