11/21 and 11/22

Today we began by generating a list of errors we tend to make while we write. We then did a quick proofreading activity to illustrate how one has to shift the mind's eye to editing mode in order to catch errors.  Students were then given time to edit their own "final" drafts of their papers before they turned them into me along with their rough drafts and peer editing sheets.  HW:  Read/log/post-it/longwrite.  BY THURSDAY 12/1 200 MINUTES OF READING LOGGED, MINIMUM OF 20 POST-ITS AND 3 LONG WRITES COMPLETED IN WRITER'S NOTEBOOK.  Post-its may be kept in book if you are still reading the book, otherwise, they need to be pulled out and placed in "My refelctions on reading" section of your notebook.
