Carlton - 3rd period - Today students continued writing their expository rough drafts, and we reviewed the directions for the writing project. The due date for the project has been changed to Monday, 12/19. The directions are on my earlier post for this week. Here is a recap of the directions:
- Choose TWO topics from the list - one expository and one persuasive. For each topic, do the following:
- Complete the SPAFT procedure for the prompt
- Complete a full prewrite for the topic. Brianstorm what you will say and use one of the formats in the project directions to organize your information. See my example on the blog.
- Write the introductory paragraph of your essay. Put the introduction into paragraph form just as you would if you were going to write the entire paper. DO NOT WRITE A FULL ESSAY!
- The project is due Monday, 12/19 to allow students more time to do a quality job.
Johnson/Carlton: Writing and grammar test tomorrow. There is a study guide on Ms. Johnson's blog and I gave students a copy of the study guide today.
