Expository Essay Draft Day

Good Day Everyone!

Journal Class:

In journal class today, we are responding to the prompt "I am good at" and discussing it.

The journal homework is to keep on working on at home journals.

In journal class today, we had a visit from the librarian, which was helpful to us for the expository essay research.  I also showed you your midterm grade forms. If you were absent you NEED to sign your forms.

TEE:
BUSINESS: I AM MOVING THE DUE DATE OF THE EXPOSITORY ESSAY TO 11/30. I WANT TIME TO LOOK AT YOUR DRAFTS!

In TEE, we discussed rebuttal paragraphs. This lesson, along with an example, is available in "Documents."    After learning rebuttals and discussing them, we wrote our own.  If you missed the lesson, you need to catch up, because each expository essay MUST have a rebuttal paragraph.

After rebuttals, we edited our drafts.  First, we read with a partner for general impressions.  Then, we corrected them for spelling and grammar. Last, we went over them according to the rubric.  The rubric is available under "documents;" it is how I will be grading your essay.

At the end of class, I collected drafts. Monday, I will hand them back with my comments and your partners comments.  The final draft is due 11/30.

Homework: Complete your works cited page, Read Chapter 5 of Of Mice and Men.
