This was a fun and informative lesson, as I took students through their rubric for their Provincial Achievement Test for their short stories, and explained to them why it’s important to write for an audience. I then took them through a list of things teachers like to read in their stories by asking a fellow teacher if she liked certain kinds of content in stories she read, to help guide them through what kind of content they should be trying to aim for in their stories.
