Note to students: I've posted a sample drama paper for you to look at.
Thursday
The instructor showed students forms for small claims court in NJ and told them that, using their language and research skills from the class, they could also file a case and present before a judge.
The instructor returned Points 1 & 2 to the students with corrections and suggestions for where to go with the papers. We reviewed our progress according to the research paper timetable and saw we are a few days behind. The class agreed to turn in Point 3 on April 7
The instructor gave the class an assignment sheet for setting up their files for the paper and the Works Cited page. This assignment will be due April 9. Students should print out the paper showing they know how to do the internal citations specified and also print out the Works Cited page with all sources set up according to MLA and alphabetized.
One student asked for an example of the drama paper and the instructor said she would post one on the Links section.
Next class: Langan, Ch. 26, Regular and Irregular Verbs, p. 482
Ch. 6, Lester, which goes with the critical thinking about web sites work we are doing.
Note: next class will be at the computer lab but we will be meeting at the classroom first.
Tuesday
The instructor picked up Points 1 and 2. The papers will be returned on Thursday.
We did a worksheet on critical thinking in regard to web sites. We read through the handout and the instructor added to the various sections. At an upcoming class (Tues., March 31) we will be doing an analysis of a web site at the computer lab.
