Freshmen: Today we started the beginning of the vocab review. Our primary focus was on Step 6, Revision. The major emphasis was to read your paper aloud with a pen in your hand, focusing on the first 5 Traits (leaving Conventions, for the most part, for Step 7). For the next period, bring in your original copy and your revised one, and finish Elements. Continue to bring Elements this week and next, and have Speak for next week as well.
Sophomores: Today we learned something developed by local writer Ken Rand called The 10% Solution. Your essays are due Thursday. Be sure that you can access an electronic copy of your essay that day in our lab, as we will perform the 10% Solution on your papers together. Chapter 16 from The Power of One is due next Monday. I will collect your Echoes on Friday.
