- We started out the period by peer editing the Romeo & Juliet Theme Essay Rough Draft.
- The students completed a peer edit form while reading the essay at least three times through.
- Then they matched up with their partner. One person read the essay aloud to the other. They discussed areas of weakness and corrections. Then they switched.
- After the peer edit, we reviewed the final draft requirements (rough draft, peer edit form, self edit form, and the final draft).
- I passed back a ton of work and the students updated their portfolios.
- I then talked a lot about final exams and finals week. I discussed what to expect for our test and what to expect during the week.
- We ended with a little bit of poetry fun.
- Homework: Finish your Romeo & Juliet Theme Essay, upload it to Turnitin.com by 11:59pm on Tuesday night; Check grades online and submit grade corrections, make-ups and extra credit by Friday.
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.
