Today we worked on rewriting our quotes. Remember that you can't use "you" and you can't be directive. You are not telling people what to do. Try to avoid words that limit. Don't say: "We must" or "Only people who..."
Tonight:
Use a quote that you worked on today or choose one that from the booklet that you feel comfortable working with. Choose 3 pieces of literature that you think might relate to the quote.
List them and then write 3 reasons why they relate.
Review the information in the booklet about writing an introduction.
Remember: Good students don't wait to be told what to do; good students take responsibilty for their own learning.
Tomorrow we are going to work on thesis statements and we will be writing our opening paragraph.
I have changed the test date to Monday next week. This is when we will write the short story essay.
Remember that our short story journal assignment is due on Friday. Bring your first draft of your revised writing to class tomorrow.
