This Week - the Last Week

Rewrite's are due Friday. If you take the rewrite option - do more than just correct punctuation.

How can you make your journal better? 

Consider adding detail - paint a clearer picture.

Clarify your writing - change awkward phrases, sentences, etc. 

Elevate the diction so that it better matches your character.


So this will be a wild week...

TUESDAY: Both classes finish the story for tomorrow!

We will select key quotes with partners. 


Z BLOCK drops Wednesday; meets Thursday (no assessment - discussion); In-class Write on Friday for 35 minutes - come prepared - more details below and we will talk more tomorrow! If you prefer to take it Thursday (for reasons such as absent Friday or too many assessments on Friday - send me an email).


F BLOCK meets Wednesday - and will have an In-class Write on WEDNESDAY; We will meet Thursday for discussion (no assessment - unless you prefer to take In-class Write Thursday because you have three assessments Wednesday and/or track meet); F Block - does not meet on Friday because school ends at noon.

BE SURE YOU DO AS MUCH BRAINSTORMING and WRITING in advance.
