Friday 1/29

Happy last school day in January.
Today is the day your play is due.

Pendragon form.


I will  grade them on Sunday so if you still have work to do when you leave today--do it before Sunday afternoon when I will be assessing them using the rubric I gave you in class today.

Reading logs are due on Monday--BE sure to take time to tally your time and pages before then.

Today we handed in LW #9 then worked on assessing our play for conflict and rising action. We wrote in our reflections sections how we will make draft 2 better than draft 3.

Tuesday 1/26

Today We read for 10 minutes then exchanged papers digitally. We asked our peers to read our plays then write a description of each of our characters so we could see how our revisions from yesterday went as far as making our characters more dynamic and distinguishable.

HW: LW#9 in reader's notebook and Read/Log/Post it 150 minutes due Monday 2/1

Monday 1/25

I collected logs today.  I also reminded everyone this week is the last of the quarter so everyone should be sure to check Powerschool.  Thursday will be the last day I accept late work.

We then described our characters in our reading notebooks in the reflections section.  The point of this was to help us understand who our characters are in order to be sure we have dialog that reveals that.  Our next step was to read my comments on draft 1 of the plays and to rework those into draft 2.

HW: Complete Draft 2--(change name and take off in progress when done)
         Read/log/post it new week is 1/25-2/1--it will be the first grade of Q3.
