A fifth-grade teacher tells his students that their homework is to write a rough-draft report about their favorite historical figure. Betty Brownnose comes to school the next day with a final draft to turn in without an initial rough draft. Which of the following describes the most appropriate response by the teacher?
  1. Commend Betty for being such an overachiever and accept the paper as a final draft.
  2. Acknowledge Betty’s desire to finish the report but stress the importance of following the proper stages of the writing process.
  3. Treat the paper as a rough draft, making corrections and suggestions for improvement.
  4. Both B and C
Explanation
Answer: D -Betty Brownnose’s teacher should acknowledge Betty’s overachievement but also treat the paper as a rough draft. Betty needs to learn that there is a reason for following stages of the writing process and that there is always room for improvement. By accepting the paper as a final draft, the teacher would instead be promoting the act of skipping steps in order to accomplish something quickly.
