Today in class we heard from three students: Patrick, Tomas and Ciara. They read their essays to the class and we gave comments. Tomorrow we will do the same, so bring in hard copies of your essay. I'd like students to learn to use the comment tool in Microsoft Word. We will practice on Thursday. Finish reading the book: Elements of Style by Wednesday's class. There will be a quiz.

Also in the earlier class, the freewrite was a reflection on "A Day without Immigrants" protest tomorrow throughout the nation.

Hamlet
In the second class, English 1A, 9-10 a.m. we read from Hamlet. We are now on Act 1, Scene 3 in this class. We have a lot to cover so come on time to class so we can start on time.

Portfolio
Students looked at samples of portfolios from other classes I've taught. The basic format is similar, the only difference is this semester students will submit their portfolios on disc or CD for later posting to the blog. I am working out the kinks, if anyone has any expertise in this area, I'd love assistance.
