Class Minutes: Tuesday, September 21st

Today you:
1. Handed in "The Lottery" film question sheet.
2. Were assigned a short story term to define on the Googledoc (emailed to your gmail account). The quiz is Monday, so the sooner you complete the study guide the better. Also, give a thorough definition for the benefit of your peers. Include examples, too. Feel free to add to or amend other definitions if you think your input will be of value for the quiz.
3. Created your four pocket portfolio.
4. Read Mrs. Wall's feedback on your paragraph drafts and used the "Revison and Editing Shorthand Notes" to familiarize yourself with and understand abbreviated comments.
5. Exchanged and peer assessed paragraphs using the, "Six Traits of Writing" post-it note and handout.
6. Completed an "Assignment Log" using the feedback provided you by Mrs. Wall and your peer. What is your current strength and area of focus? What is your plan for improvement.
7. Update your portfolio, putting handouts and writing assignment in the appropriate folder.
8. You will be continuing the revision process on Thursday.
