Directions: In this unit, you have written the first draft of an essay about what inspired the poet you researched. Over the past few lessons, you have been making revision notes, and giving and receiving feedback that will help you to improve your draft. In this assessment, you will revise and edit your piece using your revision notes and the feedback you have received. (W.4.2a, W.4.5, L.4.1f, and L.4.2b)
REMEMBER: A well-written, literary essay:
■ Has a clear focus statement that tells the main idea of the piece
■ Groups related information in paragraphs that explain and support each part of the focus statement
■ Uses complete sentences and correctly punctuates quotations
Now, begin revising and editing your essay using your revision notes and the feedback you have received. Manage your time carefully so that you can:
1. Read the draft of your essay.
2. Read the feedback given and consider how you can use this feedback to improve your work.
3. Revise your essay by crossing out any evidence or information that does not support the focus of each paragraph.
4. Edit to be sure that you have used complete sentences throughout the piece.
5. Edit to be sure that you have correctly punctuated any quotations in your essay.
Make your changes directly on your first draft. You do not need to recopy your essay for this assessment.

Part II: (W.4.5, L.4.1f, and L.4.2b)
Directions: Below is the first draft of a paragraph about what inspired Jack to write poetry. To help the author revise and edit the piece:
■ Underscore any sentence fragments.
■ Bold run-on sentences.
■ Correctly punctuate all quotations from poems.
Jack’s poems show us that he was inspired by the poetry he read in class. For example, after reading “The Red Wheelbarrow,” by William Carlos Williams, Jack wrote a poem about a blue car that began with the line “so much depends”. This is the same first line as “The Red Wheelbarrow.” Another example is Jack’s “blue car poem with tiger sounds. The first two lines of Jack’s poem are “Blue car, blue car shining bright in the darkness of the night.” This is just like the poem “The Tiger” by William Blake that Jack read in class both have lines that end in rhyming words. Also, Walter Dean Meyers. After reading Walter Dean Meyers’s poem “Love That Boy,” Jack wrote a similar poem about his dog. Meyers’s poem begins with the lines “Love that boy, like a rabbit loves to run.” Jack’s poem begins with “Love that dog, like a bird loves to fly.” Jack was clearly inspired by the poems he read in Miss Stretchberry’s class.
