🖋️Quickwrite #5:  YOUR Ideal Writing Group

MEET/SHARE: Meet your writing group for this semester. Share QW#5 with each other. And then share one of the 4-part notepages from your writer’s notebook. Consider the choices you made and follow the discussion where it leads.

8th HOUR ONLY: Check out the assignment sheet (handed out in class but also posted in the tab above for English 8 Writing Assignments).

TO-DO: Be sure you have taken a look at the additional sources & thought about how they connect, what you have to say, and which ones you want to work with. If you would like print copies, email Mrs. C which pieces you need sometime TODAY!

UPCOMING: We’ll work with sources the next two days in class. Time for reading, thinking, & creating 4-part notepages.

Mrs. C was out today. . .

We used classtime to check out the additional sources available for the upcoming cited commentary paper. Also – Independent Reading. 🙂

TO-DO: Read sources, notice connection & overlap, choose which sources you plan on using for your paper.
