Starting Our Literary Paragraphs

Hi all,

Today in class I collected your "Two Sides of Me" cartoon assignment.  We then discussed where you read in the novel and completed a quick write.  This was quick write #5, so I collected them for marking.

Class time today was used to review literary paragraph writing.  I then gave you the literary paragraph assignment for ATDPTI.  We worked on creating our topic sentence, collecting our quotes for evidence and writing our outlines.

Here is the plan for the literary paragraph:

Friday's class - Finish writing outline and write rough draft.

Monday's class - Come to class with your completed rough draft.  This will be a peer editing and revision day.

Thursday's class - Revision and good copy day.

Literary paragraphs are due EITHER Friday December 16th (to get it out of the way before the break) OR Thursday, January 5th.
