G1/G2 - I went around the room to check progress with each student on the Research Paper Packets. Students were expected to have Steps I-V completed at the beginning of the block today. I gave everyone printer paper to use for Step VI and asked students to work independently for the rest of the block. In some cases, it took me the entire block to make my way around the room to touch base with all students. Assignments: G2 - Complete the packet (including the rough draft or a detailed outline) for Tuesday. In G1, please complete Steps VI - XII. G1, you may also complete the last step (Step XIII - a detailed outline or rough draft) for up to 10 points extra credit. Please stay on top of this assignment. The drafting stage will go very quickly next week.
G3 - Groups chose global topics for Trend research. I distributed copies of a sample Works Cited page which includes the three entries you are required to use for the paper. Checked Draft #2 of the Comparative Analysis paper. Students peer-edited and revised for the remainder of the block today. Assignment: Complete Draft #3 for Tuesday for peer-editing. I will not be collecting them as planned... they will not be ready for me until Thursday at this point. Be sure to include your own copy of the Works Cited page in your revision. I am slowly getting to the Comparative Critique rough drafts and hope to have them all back to you by Tuesday.
