Today, 5th and 7th periods got a dose of commentary while 8th period had the "joy" of sharing their attempts to write commentary. Remember, the only way it gets easier is to keep doing it! Here are the assignments due Thursday:
5th: study for a quiz over the writing process and parts of the essay. Be sure you pay attention to your notes! Also, you will have to define CD and CM and must know the ratio. Also, write a CD and 2 CM sentences for the topic "The walls in this classroom are dull and boring."
7th: study for a quiz--see the note for 5th period for details. For class, be sure you do page 57 and the top of page 59 in the handouts I gave today. Remember, you can change the "mall" to another place if you choose.
8th: For Thursday, do your next round of CM practice (your topic is "my favorite season is __" then you do 3 chunks which is CD:CM2 three times). Begin working on your "evil in disguise" essay rewrite. It's due on Monday. Remember to focus on title, good hook, interesting intro, clear thesis, topic sentence(s) with 3 Ts, and--of course--good CM! This will be a 100 point major grade; I will grade it like a good rough draft.
