1 7 th Grade STAAR Writing Camp The objective for this writing camp is for students to determine whether the prompt is a narrative or expository prompt. Students will analyze and compose essays based on the appropriate prompt. If a student knows the characteristics of each type of writing then, they have a better understanding of how to write their composition. The objective is NOT for students to focus on the Revising and Editing. STAAR writing is first draft writing. Day 3 of STAAR Writing Camp is for students to complete their writing. If they completed their essay, may peer edit to see if they can improve their essay. This is only if time allows. Otherwise Revising and Editing is to be done back in the classroom.

Day 2 30 minutes: students will write on the lined paper used for STAAR. Day 3 Students will complete their essay. If time allows peer editing from the Editing Checklist with a partner.
