Thursday!

The learning goal today was to annotate a mentor essay to ask "What did that writer do in her essay that I can do in mine?" We annotated as a class, then students had partner work to share ideas in annotating. Students also were given new homework partners today. Make sure you hold onto the homework peer paper!

For a link to the annotating paper, look on the right side of this screen under "Links."

H/W: Using the annotating paper under Links, annotate to remainder of the mentor essay that we started in class. You may use colored pencils or highlighters. Try to go beyond the list and look at other ideas you might find in her writing. Spend 15 minutes revising your paragraphs with ideas from the mentor text, especially transition words (in the paragraphs and at the start of paragraphs). Do your revisions in color.

Thank you!
