English 1A 9-9:50 a.m. Some of this is new information
Today in class we did not get to The Happiness Project. Everyone got a copy of the package. You can have them (smile). Read the package and bring to class daily. We will spend time in groups Monday since you did not get a chance to have your first Group Meeting.
We are moving along in the book. Spend this weekend reading and writing logs, jotting down questions and making plans for your Happiness Project. Think about the questions Rubin poses to help us identify what in our lives we'd like to change. As mentioned in previous posts. The package you received today is on the website for the book. There are links in earlier posts.
Today, students had their first peer review. I gave students a lot of handouts, one was optional (smile). Students used stars, plus marks and question marks to indicate areas in the student papers they read which were brilliant, needed expanding or clarifying; were confusing or unclear. We did not have time to use words. Afterward, students then talked about the papers.
Each of you is to complete an Initial Planning Sheet on the completed essay. Normally, the IPS is the first step, but you just received it (smile).
Secondly, each of you has to write a summary of the comments on this draft and include this with the essay you turn in. Call it peer review response. Lastly, in the Peer Review Response, tell me what steps you took as a writer in response to this feedback.
Students are to bring their work electronically to class on Monday. I am going to reserve a classroom with technology for us to use to send the essays to me. The email address is: coasabirenglish1A@gmail.com
The remainder of the class will be spent in discussion. Don't forget to respond to the Happiness Project Spot.

Its been one week since i started reading this book came in the mail. i am only in the second chapter. So far i find her resolutions and "problems" to be rather pathetic. Although i find her to be a good individual and it is always encouraged to improve ones self, i find myself more wanting to throw the book and yell for her to get a REAL problem. All in all i hope the book picks up a little.
