Greetings Class!
We had a very nice class together today. We made good progress and also paused for a check-in about the writing portion of the class.
As indicated in an earlier email, the writing schedule has been adjusted and today students recieved an updated class syllabus, homework checklist and updated writing schedule (all located on Google Classroom.) I think the students will find the new schedule simpler and easier to follow.
On that note, next week (9/21) they are to bring a hard copy of Essay 1 Rough Draft to class where we will spend time peer reviewing and editing.
The bulk of class time was spent on Grammar. There was a mini-lesson on verbs, verb tenses, interjections and conjunctions. Students had time in class to complete, correct, and turn in their worksheets. They were pleased to not have grammar homework!
For Literature, we had an informal discussion of Peace Like A River. The consensus is that this book is a page turner! After pondering a few questions, students got into groups to discuss the climactic and symbols so far. In the large group, I was impressed to hear their sharp insights. These students are deep thinkers! They are to keep reading Peace Like A River and do the take home quiz.
Have a blessed weekend!
