Nov 3, 2025

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

  • Checking in
  • List of missing assignments
  • Tomorrow is a the due date for all missing and redone assignments (particularly the independent novel project)
  • Tomorrow will be a "remedy" day for me, so you'll have a TOC, but I'll be lurking around, somewhere
  • Report Card Comment and Mark Sheet - Due Thursday
  • Distributing Much Ado About Nothing
    • A heads up: our approach to this story will be considerably different. This is not a serious play
    • Quick summary of the story
    • How we'll approach the play - from multiple angles
      • Read summaries
      • Watch movies
      • Read modern English
      • Read original Shakespearean (your assignments will need to use the original language, but you may use Modern English whenever it feels right)
  • Time for essay
    • I'm delaying it one more day, to Friday
    • How to peer review
      • You need to show physical evidence of THREE peers offering thoughts on your essay. This might look like:
        • Track Changes on Word
        • Different colours and font on google docs
        • Good ol' pen and pencil on a physical copy
        • Pictures of people studiously considering your essay
      • When editing, consider:
        • Spelling, commas, and essay structure
        • Mr. McLean's Writing Tips
        • Compliment sandwich at the end
    • Reminder about final copy:
      • Good copy (a title page is always a nice touch)
      • Works Cited Page
      • Rough copy (should feature evidence of three peers editing)
      • Original plan (can be different from what the end result is)
  • Your goal is to complete your rough draft before Thursday
