Sept 18, 2020

 Hello! Here's what we're up to today:

  • Silent reading
  • Checking in
  • Review of Assignment 1, Writing Tips, and Rubric
  • Time to polish Assignment 1 - note that I've created an Assignment on Teams (due at 3pm)
  • Peer editing of Assignment 1 - remember to document evidence of feedback, for the extra point.
    • Try to do this digitally if you can.
    • With paper, try not to touch, but read, and offer notes on another paper. Remember to use hand sanitizer before and after.
    • What you're looking for:
      • Spelling and grammar mistakes
      • Follows the writing tips
      • Follows the paragraph structure
      • Starts off with a clear argument.
      • Examples support the argument
      • Conclusion has the same idea as the topic sentence, but in different wording
      • Finish with a compliment sandwich - one good thing, a question, and one good thing
  • Looking ahead (sorry for the information dump you're about to get, but I believe it's better to give you a complete picture. Also, we tend to get our work done early in English, rather than later)
  • Prep for remote next week
    • The schedule
    • Note "Discussion" Channel
    • Assignment questions channel
    • Instructions will be on the blog and in the "General" channel
    • First lesson may be bumpy - I've never run a class online before, so I appreciate your patience
    • Checking in channel - I'll be posting a check in every day. It's entirely optional, but I'd appreciate if you pop in 2-3 times a week, just letting us know how you're doing.
  • Rearranging desks
  • Time for A1
