English 1A 2010 Class Notes
SPHE Quizes:
SPHE Quiz 1MLA, 2 PA, 3PC, 4 Ellipses, 5 Parallel Structure, 6 Be Verbs, 7 Subject Verb Agr. 8 Possessives. Grammar Exam 1, (Wednesday, March 17)
*Note: The quizzes are given in class; we grade them together and I am keeping a record of scores. For the essays, students will develop templates for the errors, write an essay analyzing the errors and resubmit the revised essay along with the error analysis essay for a passing grade.
Each student can revise an essay once; for subsequent revisions the grade drops one to one half point (my discretion). After SPHE, I expect students to be experts at revision and editing. If a student isn’t careful, a 4.0 can slip to 2.0.
Grammar Exam 2: Monday, May 3
For Pidd, we will complete an essay a week or thereabouts for English 1A (so keep up)
SPHE Essays: Midterm (3/18) or Synthetica, Point of View, Possessives, Parallel Str.,
*Template Essays (where needed) for Half the Sky, Book Report, and SE Essay
Pidd Essays: 1, 2, 3, 4 (at home). The other essays are in-class essays.
