Daily Annoucements
I post here daily about what we accomplished in class each day, including handouts and links available to students on my CANVAS site.
Thursday, 5/10 -- Day 24 of Quarter 4
We started class working on practice exercises for parallel structure. Each class is at a different point with this topic, so check with a classmate to find out which practice sentences we worked on today in class. Next, students met with their research group to develop an introduction for their paper. The thesis statement in the introduction relies on individual topic sentences that students should have written for homework last night. Those who are behind or not doing homework related to the research paper are making it much more difficult for group members to collaborate and produce the writing that is required. Those who had homework completed were able to generate ideas and draft some writing of the introduction much more quickly -- kudos to them. At the end of class, each group set up their research paper document in MLA format and shared it with all group members as well as me ([email protected]). Homework: Book circle discussion tomorrow! Complete preparation for your role in the discussion -- print summary/historical documents that you need to share. For the research paper, finish outlining body paragraphs as needed and collaborate online to draft your introduction.
