Today we started writing the censorship essay. Students who didn't finish were to email me before class tomorrow (5 p.m. today).
The essay response (500 words) was to one of the prompts at the end of the essay: 1, 2, 4, and another one from the board: Respond to Nathan McCall's essay. What do you agree on and where do you disagree if at all?
The next class we will watch Revision Strategies and review the final SPHE essay if we have time. After the video we will spend time doing peer reviews on the Nature/Nurture essay using the read aloud method where the reader externalizes his or her thoughts for the listener. The listener takes notes. I will demonstrate.
When you get the Censorship essay back (Nov. 25) I will have listed the errors at the top of the page. Students need to make templates for all the errors and write about five different ones in an essay (2 pages).
Mention the text SPHE and its authors and the character you have met this semester. You can use humor to talk about taking what you have learned from his writing errors to reflect on your own. Will you fail yourself or be more generous than you were with him.
Reflect on the usefulness of the text and how it was structured. Has it been easy or difficult to translate what you have learned to your own writing? How to you plan to make this happen?
The template:
Claim naming the type of error. "Insert the error." Explain why the error is an error. Explain how to fix the error. The corrected sentence will read, "Give examples of the corrected sentence."
Do this for each error identified in your essay.
Turn in both the essay evaluating the writing and a corrected second draft of the original essay. Don't forget the works cited page. Include the SPHE book, your essay and the essay from the Censorship package.
This essay and the revised essay are due Nov. 30. Note: there are two essays due. We will work on the portfolio essays next week, Monday, Nov. 30. The portfolio is due by Wednesday, Dec. 2.
If you are behind, drop the class by Wednesday, Nov. 25.
