Monday, March 11

Morning!
First, finish up your papers today with where they're at - use the comments and suggestions your classmates gave you to touch up the papers, make your final edits, etc. I will begin grading the papers this evening, though I will be keeping in mind that these are drafts we will return to.

If/when you finish, spend some time with your Big 6/Voice Thread topic. I'd like you to look for organizations in the area, state, or nation that focus on helping the same issue you researched.

Happy Monday!!!

Lit Crit!!!

Morning!
Today, you are creating and sharing your google doc with me. Same process as always - create the doc, immediately change the title to "last name, period, lit crit", then share it with dignant@rbhs208.net

For this paper, I DO want you to have a hard copy in class on Thursday. Once you finish typing, please print up TWO copies of your paper and have them in class with you on Thursday! It is very important that you have the papers in class so that you can participate in the lit circles we will do with these.

I will be reading/editing as you are typing today and tomorrow. If you have any specific questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Happy Critting!
T Blizzardy

Good Morning!
Several steps to your blogging directions today:
1. Add a "comment" to this post that includes a 3-4 sentence description of your literary criticism topic.
2. On your blog, create a new post that includes FIVE characteristics you found in the 4 literary criticisms you read this weekend.
3. Finally, write a paragraph that summarizes the lit crit you found to be most intersting, and detail why you thought it was the most interesting of the articles.
As always, read and comment on 3 of your classmates posts or lit crit topics.

Happy Monday!

Chapter 25.5

Good Morning!
Today, please post a summary of your "missing chapter". In the interest of avoiding posting Holden's language :) I decided to just have you give a quick paragraph or so about what happens to Holden in your chapter. We will have a reading of the full chapters tomorrow.
As always, please read and comment on at least 3 other posts.

Happy Blogging!

2. Listen to at least THREE projects created by members of this class today.
3. THIS ONE IS VERY IMPORTANT!!! Create ONE text comment during the project and ONE comment at the end of the project. The comments should react to the CONTENT of the project, NOT simply saying that the person did a good job or you "liked" their presentation.
