For Monday

Cross Grade exam day is Thursday. Make sure that you have your study sheets ready to go. Review the booklet we handed out in class. Practice with other quotes in the booklet or quotes that you have found online. Remember that you don't have to get the quote right. You are working with the idea that is presented and you are using it as a springboard. Be sure to look at the comments on your previous essays and make sure that you pay attention to addressing those issues on writing day.

Finish your Mockingbird assignments. Think about presentation. Does your assignment need a title page? Have you typed it? Is it presented well? There is no right way to present your project, but there might be a better way.

Have you looked at the criteria on the sheet and made sure that you have addressed them all?

Remember to get your study sheet ready for class. We will be working on Cross Grades on Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday and Friday we will be doing poetry.

Prepare notes for Lord of the Flies. You can consider quotes that might work in an essay and include them in your notes. Make sure that you have thought about theme statements that apply to this novel. Think carefully about characterization etc.

You may refer to a personal novel on the cross grade.

On Friday we worked on the first body paragraph of our essay. We revised our introductions and we tried to make sure that we were using transition words correctly.

Make sure that you vary how you use transitions and that you develop your points sufficiently before building a connection to something else.
