Lesson 83

 Today was good copy day.

Anyone who did not finish their draft was expected to head to writing lab today, or to come in for tutorial tomorrow morning.

All paragraph writers are to be finished their work by the end of tomorrow's tutorial.

Essay writers must have good copies complete by the end of Friday's tutorial - NOTE: I am offering  a Friday morning tutorial this week.

Lesson 1

 Welcome! Students found their seats, asked all the questions, looked over a course outline,  answered some get-to-know-you questions, and played a name scavenger hunt to get to know their classmates.  Next class, we will do some more icebreaker work, and then get down to work :)

Lesson 3

Image
  Students began class by listening to "For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield, and thinking a bout the lyrics - A number of students forgot to bring a novel today, and those students had a bit of extra time to think... Students did the first of three sheets on capitalization. Students began a review of a standard plot diagram, and used this Cougar Cub Video to plot it out (please watch it at home if you missed today) HOMEWORK: Have a plan for recording homework (other than your phone) make sure your plot diagram for Cougar/Cub is complete, and bring a novel to next class.

Lesson 14

 We began today's class with students handing in the homework from last day - 1/3rd of the class did not have work to hand in. There is a clear trend for some students, and they should look to prioritize this early learning, or they will find themselves very behind in just a short time.  No one did a perfect job of the homework - as a result, we set about writing better statements, and critiquing them as a class. No group wrote a perfect statement. AND SO! Homework is to write a solid theme statement for "Barney," using the "How to Write a Theme Statement" sheet.  Please note: Students were encouraged to go to the Writing Lab for help with this work at lunch today, but most did not do so. The HWL is open Mon/Tues/Wed, and tutorials are open daily, apart from the FRIDAY OF WEEK 1.
