Wow. This week has slipped by. I completely forgot about doing this on Monday and Tuesday. Let’s recap what we have done.
Monday-MAP testing. If you were out, you may have to make that up. Not sure.
Tuesday-Indefinite pronouns: these are pronouns without a definite antecedent (i.e. anyone, everybody, some, several, etc.). The Writing Process: Prewriting, Drafting, Evaluating, Editing/revising, and Publishing. We took notes on Thursday of last week and reviewed yesterday. Composition: We spent some time in class working on our rough drafts for the “letter to mom” personal letter. Homework: Quiz on the writing process, the indefinite pronouns worksheet, p. 43 & 44, and complete your rough draft.
Whew! Now on to today.
HS 101: We were led through several rousing renditions of the Alma Mater.
Grammar: We went over the answers to one side of the homework sheet and then collected it for a grade on the other.
Composition: We took the quiz on the writing process and then worked on evaluating our letters both in peer evaluation and self-evaluation.
Homework:
- Complete your final draft of the letter.
- Typed–it must be Times New Roman or Arial, size 12 font, single-spaced (most essays will be double-spaced).
- Handwritten–it must be printed in blue or black ink on lined, loose-leaf paper, single-spaced.
