Today was our final class before the exam. We:
1. Handed in our acrostic poems
2. Updated our Assignment logs with the returned Allegory multi, rubric, and 6 sample
3. Played a symbol and motif review game using our symbol trading cards. It's similar to Apples to Apples
4. We went over how to write thesis statements with focussed and interesting plans and developments. We revised three student samples, which are posted on Moodle. Adding modifiers is an easy way to move your writing from a rubric 4 to 6.
5. I handed out some review questions to use for home study
6. I posted the Intensely Important quotes key on Moodle, along with all the chapter notes, etc.
Good luck on the mid year. I know you can do it!
