What to Expect March 28th

Class,

Hopefully, you have been working on your research paper. This week, you should have written four more paragraphs to add to the other two you've already written. You also should have finished reading F451. We will continue working on our research papers this week, but you will write three paragraphs for this following week, and make any necessary revisions on your previous writings. Writing is re-writing. I suggest you type up your work at this time, if you haven't already. It will be much easier to work on your drafts this way. It will also be reassuring to see how much you are accomplishing. Six well-developed paragraphs should have you into your third page of composition. By the end of this week, you should have half of this research paper written. Next month, we will finish this paper. That leaves us a couple of weeks to make our final revisions. You are almost done! Hang in there!

We will be spending most of our time discussing the book in class, so be prepared for discussion. Bring in any questions, comments, confusions, etc. We will also work on our new vocabulary words and review the past lists. We will have our vocabulary quiz the beginning of April.

Our next book is The Hobbit! If you need to order it, go ahead and do so now.

Kindly,
Heather
