What a whirlwind of activity today with more writing stuff and more Beowulf. Here is the run-down:
1st Period: DLP 2 quiz was today. Then, I checked your CM homework as you guys did a trade and comment round. Homework is to write 2 chunks about your favorite season as the topic sentence content. By Friday, have your evil in disguise essay re-done for a 100 point major grade. Remember, focus on good writing as we've discussed the past week. Be sure you type the essay and follow all MLA guidelines.
2nd period: DLP 2 quiz was today. We read more Beowulf after taking a quiz. For Wednesday, finish reading the Beowulf excerpt and be ready for a quiz.
3rd Period: DLP 2 quiz was today. After a writing review, we began discussing the concept of commentary. For Wednesday, do the commentary practice exercise on page 57 and the top of page 59 handouts I gave in class. Also, study for a quiz that covers the writing process and parts of the essay, including the questions I told you about commentary (what is concrete detail? what is commentary? and what is the ratio of CD to CM?).
