Details...
To open the class we had a quick quiz. I wanted to distinguish the reason behind the editing mistakes I have been finding in our writings... is it because the rules for apostrophes are not known or is it just lazy proofing? Do students know the difference between there/their, too/to, which/witch... or do we need to spend time in class on when to use each one? hmmm... just asking the question is a little disturbing...
Following this quiz we looked at some citation issues with some examples.
The end of the period was spent looking at quotes dealing with "Human Nature." This led into the journal write #7:
What is "human nature" and how does it apply to your reflective essay topic?
DUE Tomorrow: Reflective Essay!
For those that will be missing Friday:
Before we turn in our final drafts we will be writing down our reflections on the process of writing this paper. Questions to answer:
1. How was the timing of the paper? (did you have enough time between drafts?)
2. What are you proud of in this essay?
3. What would you have liked to have improved/done differently with the essay?
4. Did this writing influence your perspective in any way? Why?
5. What class activities helped you with the ideas behind the reflective essay? What activities didn't help?
6. Any additional comments?
