How are you? I hope you are all doing wonderfully well today!
Ok. So here is what is going on this week. I will be on campus at 6:00 this Wednesday to answer any questions that you may have. You do not have to come if you feel that you do not need help. It is up to you.
I will also put your quiz grades on Ucompass later today. Additionally, I will check all of your blog work and write you back today if you left me comments.
Here is your homework for the week:
Level 5/6:
- Edit and revise your essays from page 43 for Monday. Remember, editing and revising is when you go your writing and fix all of your mistakes. I can help you with this on Wednesday if you would like.
- Actually, I only saw two essays on the blog. Two weeks ago you were supposed to brain storm about the topic. Last week, I asked you to write the essay. I only saw two today--where are they? Those of you who don't have them done, GET BUSY. I can't comment and tell you what to fix if you haven't done the work!
- Add two sources (evidence) to your essays. You could chose to cite a definition of what justice is or any other information to support your topic. If you are not sure how to do this, please come Wednesday so that I can help you or send me an email.
- Turn in a finished essay by next Monday.
"Old Guys"
- How are you feeling about the definition paragraph? I think that you all did a very good job with this. If you feel like you need more practice, feel free to chose another topic from page 119 and write an additional paragraph. However, if you do not need the extra practice, let's move on to chapter 10.
- In Chapter 10, you are going to learn about how to write a "comparison and contrast" paragraph. This, of course, will lead you to writing comparison and contrasting essays.
- Read pages 120-128
- Complete practices 1 and 2 on the blog.
- You may want to come in on Wednesday so that I can help you with this.
See you on Wednesday---

ReplyDeletePick one of the below topics and write a fully developed paragraph. You will have 2 hours to finish this paragraph, but it should not take you that long. Make sure you check your spelling! If you have already written about one of the topics, select the other one!
1. Describe a famous person you would like to meet.
OR
2. Describe a crazy thing you would like to do or to try.
Don't forget:
Subject, audience, and purpose
and Who, what, why, where, when, and how.
