- The period started with the Vocabulary & Spelling QUIZ for lessons #7 & 8.
- After the quiz, the students read silently for about 20 minutes.
- We corrected the quiz in class.
- I then walked the students through the scoring rubric for the school-wide writing assessment. We discussed the differences between the scores 1-6. I had them "grade" two sample essays to get a feel for how the scoring works, then I passed back their essays.
- We then started the writing portfolio for the year. Several assignments were passed back that went directly into the portfolio. The portfolio contains all tests, quizzes, essays and major projects. This is a graded assignment
- Homework: Finish the short story culminating project and upload it to Turnitin.com by 11:59 on Monday Oct. 26; study the commonly confused words
This blog is meant to keep my Composition & Literature students updated on my class. If you forgot what we did in class, or if you were absent, please check in here to find out what happened in class. This will be updated at the end of each class day.
