G1/G2 - Rough Drafts of the research paper were due for peer-editing today. Showed a sample paper and walked through the requirements, including the Works Cited page (see sample worksheet given in class). G2 was able to get quite a bit of peer-editing done today. G1, however, is, unfortunately, quite a bit behind. This is why you have not been seeing grades posted online... they would not be good due to the fact that so many people are moving so slowly and not doing any of the work outside of class. Because this particular assignment is more about the process than it is about the product, though, I am narrowing the amount of points to the minimum. You will see a 50 point score for the packet and 100 points for the Final Draft. I have new calendars and SAT Vocab. ready for G2, and I will give that to you next week. Assignment: Final Drafts and packets are due WITH THE WORKS CITED PAGE on Monday by the end of the block whether you are here at school on Monday or not. If you do not include the Works Cited page in your paper, it will be an automatic F (See rubric given to you in class last time).
G3 - Collected Comparative Analysis Rough Drafts and checked 10 inquiry questions today. I handed back several of the rough drafts of the Comparative Critique and should have the rest ready for you on Monday. A few students turned in permission slips and money for the public library field trip today. Before lunch, I went through some Bibliography and Note-Taking information. Students received copies of the 2 powerpoints today. We went to the computer lab after lunch, and students worked on preliminary research for their Trend papers. I asked them to get on Moodle to find the information they need about the Writing Plan assignment. If you haven't looked that up yet, please do so as soon as possible. Assignments: Some of you have Final Drafts of the Comparative Critique to be working on. All of you should check Moodle and access the Writing Plan assignment. That is due next Friday.
