Lesson Plan for Thursday, January 16, 2014

Thursday, January 16, 2014

1.  Read today's poem:
            "Being Boring" by Wendy Cope (examine the "newview")
2. Assignment:
             "Pronoun Case"
              After I teach you how pronoun case works and what pitfalls to avoid, work together with your group to complete the exercise.  You may write on the handout.  Circle the correct items.  Be aware that some sentences have more than one item.
               Turn in the exercise when you finish.
3.   Response Groups for Personal Essay:
                Based on the expectations in the grading criteria and on your own concerns, get feedback on your rough draft of your personal essay.  You may want to use the PQP format for oral response (praise, question, polish).
4.  Reminder:
                  "Personal Essay" (typed, edited, final copy is due tomorrow--Friday)
