We studied semicolons. The instructor showed a .ppt and students wrote examples sentences. Later the sentences were turned in.
Then the instructor introduced the poetry assignment and showed students the poetry links on the right. Students are to go to poets.org and choose a genre or school for their multimedia project for this semester. The instructor will put these choices on a table at the next class.
Some students did writing samples today.
To do for next class:
Accumulate sources for your research paper. Start reading the sources and summarizing them for the upcoming Annotated Works Cited.
Read Ch's 1 and 2 in Lester.
Choose a poetry genre, school, or movement.
Students who were working on the writing sample will have to do the semicolon work in and give their worksheet to the instructor at the next class.
