Hodgepodge

As with everything second semester, we will be jumping around between writing, multiple choice, allusions, tone, and vocabulary. Par example...

1. In a five minute span, you brainstormed a list of topics for our future tone paragraphs on an index card. Absentees, you can complete this task for Monday's class. Topics can range from serious to funny, specific to vague.

2. We discussed tips for argumentative writing in regards to the Lucy essay (previous blog) and expectations for those wishing to take the revision option. The revision will be due at the start of class on Monday in hard copy form with the original draft attached. (If absent today and wishing to revise, you will need to see prior to class starting on Monday for further information; if absent all day on Monday, you will need to contact me with instructions for turning in the assignment.)

3: You received the allusion posters assignment - in which you will create one allusion poster a week for four weeks. If absent, you can either e-mail me for a copy and your four allusions or ask for this information prior to class on Monday.

4. You copied down vocab unit 17 -- it's back -- and we will start vocab experts on Monday.

C'est finis.
