The instructor returned student papers with grades and told students to put the paper in their portfolios. During class students did corrections on the paper. The corrections sheet should be labeled "Essay 1 Corrections" and stapled to the front.
While the students did the corrections, the instructor read student outline for the second essay. She gave feedback to students who had their papers.
On Monday the essay will be due. On Wednesday we will have the midterm. At some point over the weekend, the instructor will post some guides about what to study. This will be applicable to all students except for one.
Monday
The instructor checked in outlines for the next essay. While students did an exercise in writing with detail, she reviewed the outlines and gave written feedback.
Next various members of the class read the adjectives and adverbs that were added to the paragraph in the class exercise. We did another exercise along the same line.
The instructor discussed the essay topics. She told students the difference between reports and an essay. She said reports cannot achieve anything more than a "C" and will probably not count toward much in the student's portfolio evaluation.
In the last part of the class, we did an essay on choosing the plural or singular form of the verb when using "each" and "either."
To Do for Next Class:
Read the first four pages of Ch. 5 on revision. We will be doing some of the exercises in class.
Write one to one-and-a-half pages of the essay. Write only the body. Do not write an introduction.
