English 101 -- Plan for Thursday, Feb. 26

During class:
  • Discuss final essay assignment sheet
  • reverse outline of response
  • additional discussion about parts of an essay as needed
  • grammar work
  • look at samples of effective essays
  • talk about deciding which summary/response essay you want to revise & polish for Portfolio I.
 Homework due Monday, March 2:
1. Choose one summary/response essay to revise and polish for Portfolio I.  Revise this summary/response essay to the best of your ability. This revised draft will then go through a self/peer/teacher critique process.
2. We will be working with your summary/response essays in class.  A copy of this essay will be passed in to me at the end of class.
3. (Read “Concluding Paragraphs” pages 77-78 in the handbook.)  We will do this during class on Monday. We will also look at the sample essay (passed out in class today) on Monday.
