Day 7

Today in Class

  • Went over Langan--103-104 on fragments. You did not neet to turn this in. We then talked about homework for next class.
  • Turned in Paragraph 1, final draft plus process stuff. If you lost or did not receive your checklist for the final draft, click here to get a copy. When you type out your final draft, it should look like this.
  • Did Article Sharing 4. Turned in written part of this (summary and reaction)
  • Began Chapter 2 in Kanar. We talked about SQ3R (see diagram at left).
  • Note that Vocab Test 2 will be next week Thursday 2/14. Study the 18 words from Chapters 1 and 2 of Kanar for the test.
  • Wrote Journal #7: If you were a teacher and you came to class and none of the students did their homework, what would you do?
  • We began work on Paragraph 2: List the names of 30 people that you know. Then list 20 positive personality characteristics (examples of these are honest, caring, helpful, hardworking...). We then did a web which looks like this.
Homework for Tuesday 2/12
  • Journal #8: What was an embarrassing moment you have had?
  • Kanar--Do Exercise 2.1. Use the Langan textbook as the basis for your answers.
  • Langan--Do review tests 2 and 3 on pp. 116-117
  • Choose three names from your list of 30 people. For each name, freewrite 150+ words, so you will have a total of 150 x 3 = 450 words.
