Today class was a workshop session where students worked in groups on various essays: Half the Sky revisions. Don't let the Half the Sky essays sit around and collect dust, revise them in class and get them back to me ASAP, like by Thursday, April 15. Bring your essays to class each day this week. We will share essays perhaps tomorrow so students can hear essays that worked well on the page: As, Bs, Cs.

Bring drafts of your book report essay to class for Monday, April 19, 2010. Final drafts will be due Wednesday (maybe) we'll see how the writing is going.

In SPHE we are finished with POV and are on Be-Verbs (Essay 4). I have a handout for you for the introductory paragraph. Make sure you get a copy.

What else?

Students also worked on their book report outlines and initial planning sheets (same questions, type them up).

I think this is it. We will work on these essays all week.
