Today in class we continued workshopping essays: Half the Sky and the book report essay, as well as, Pidd essays (I returned POV and Possessives). Students shared their initial planning sheets and outlines with each other and with me. Students should turn around the revisions as quickly as possible. Many students are missing classes and/or coming in fifteen minutes before class is over.

For the remainder of the class we are using class time to revise essays, peer reviews. When students arrive in class this is the plan. Take advantage of this opportunity to get one-on-one assistance from me and from peers. It's not every class where students get to spend class time writing and rewriting.

Some students have not followed the assignment and were profiling men. The social entrepreneur essay is has to be about a woman. If you want me to make an exception, it needs to be compelling.

We reviewed the essay in Pidd this morning in the second class, by request, to make sure all the errors were identified correctly. We will probably write the essay, after completing the quiz in the morning.

We'll spend the second part of the class reading Lysitrata. There will be an in-class writing assignment connected to Lysistrata.
