I just posted this to my classroom blog over at roomtwelve.com. I don't know how it will turn out, but it feels right...
Blogging Drafts
This is just a note to let the readers of roomtwelve.com know that some of the third graders here are publishing drafts of their writing - that is, unfinished work, writing that may contain mistakes.
Normally, the writing on their blogs is pretty close to perfect, in terms of the conventions of spelling, capitalization, and punctuation. At least we try :)
Right now everybody is working on a book for our annual Young Author's Conference. A few brave writers in room twelve are posting their works in progress - for you to take a look at - and even offer feedback on!
So if you see an article with the word "Draft" in the title, keep this in mind - and please feel free to leave a comment for the authors. They will certainly appreciate it. Thanks! - Mr. A.

I am a third grade teacher in Winnetka, IL, and I would love to check out some of the drafts and offer my feedback. I have recently started my own blog and I will be doing some curriculum work on fiction writing this summer, so I am sure I will be in touch. I subscribe to your blog (recommended by the head of AT at our school) and it's really inspiring. Keep 'em coming!
