Today we took the very last quiz for our Term 1 whole class novel.  We discussed the reading briefly and then turned in our second drafts.  I spent the class editing them for imagery and scoring them and then passed them back so that you could take your paper home and write your final draft.  Your final draft is due (highlighted) on Monday (A) and Tuesday (B) of next week.

day 19: Hunger Games quiz #9 and first draft peer edit (oct 10 and 11)

10/11/2018

0 Comments

 
Today we took Quiz #9 for The Hunger Games and I gave points for first drafts being completed.  The last half of class, we edited each other's first drafts by annotating each other's Google docs and filling out rubrics for each other's fanfictions.  Make sure that you show me your first draft and get your first draft completely edited.  

Your homework is to take those comments and any other suggestions your peer reviewers made and, using your own creativity, edit your paper extensively for your second draft.  Your second draft is due on Friday (A) and Monday (B). You need to highlight the changes that you made to your draft before you turn it in to me.  ​

Today we did DOL #14 and took Quiz #7 of the Hunger Games.  Then, we discussed satire, types of satire, and, specifically, parody.  The notes for satire were Writer's Notebook #14.  You will need to send me an email so I can send you the power point so that you can take notes on satire.  For homework, you will need to create a satirical piece mocking an element of the Hunger Games that is worthy of mocking.  Bring those next time.
