Comp/Lit 10: 9/30/10

Gram-O-Rama (Grammar & Write-O-Rama) Day!

  • We started the day with a Grammar Quiz-Parts of Speech
  • During the quiz, we checked the the homework assignment-The Hero Activity, based on "The Tale of Sir Lancelot"
  • When the students finished the quiz, they read/reviewed "The Tale of Sir Lancelot" and the Hero Activity.
  • Once all of the quizzes were turned in, we discussed Paragraph Format.  I took the students through a power point presentation to review the elements of a paragraph.  We reviewed the elements, then analyzed a weak paragraph, then a better paragraph.  The students used colored pencils to label the parts of the paragraph.  This is something they will do to their own paragraphs later in this unit.
  • We ended the period with a Write-O-Rama.  This WOR was set up a bit different.  The students needed to write a paragraph in 20 minutes.  The there were only two prompts today.  We did not read the paragraphs aloud; therefore, there are no notes or reflection with this WOR. However, the students will revise one of the paragraphs.
  • Homework: WOR Revision, VFA #5-6, Read "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" and "The Quest for the Holy Grail" and take notes, Work on the Heraldry Assignment DUE October 12.
