After reading the article, the building opened up and we went upstairs where the instructor lectured on drama.
Each person put the title of their research paper on the board and we voted on which paper we most wanted to read. We examined why. Then we worked on titles in class, making them clearer and more appealing to the reader.
Next we went through the grading points for the research paper. We traded papers and each person evaluated a colleague's paper for points and for pointing out such items as the preview statement, the thesis/claim, and the "need" (benefit to the reader).
The last task was to look at the grading sheet for the semester and check to see if grades were recorded on the sheet. The instructor explained the point system on the research paper, which includes two points on the 10 for handing in each section on time.
The research paper is due May 3. Paper will be returned on May 10.
Notebook check is on May 3. At that class, we will watch a literary film while the instructor grades the notebooks.
On the last day of class, May 10, we will have the drama quiz and the open book quiz on Lester. The quizzes will be graded in class.
