Today we did step # 2 of the DOG and spent a little time talking about indirect objects. Then I explained the “2nd chance to make a 1st impression” assignment. Students received back the written responses they submitted for each of the stories “Rikki-tikki-tavi” and “Song of the Trees.” (They have recieved a quiz/writing process grade for each already.) Students also received a rubric for each. Students were to re-read and grade (as objectively and honestly as they could) each of their own essays. After analyzing each essay’s strengths and weaknesses, students were to choose one to “polish” and type and re-submit for a Test grade. This typed, “polished” copy of the essay is due Thursday. If you cannot print it at home, you may email it as an attachment to scotts2@fultonschools.org . Please use standard style fonts (no frilly, bold or cursive fonts) and use 12-14 pt size font. Remember to take advantage of this final opportunity to improve and proof your response before it gets a test grade. Please attach this typed copy to the previous 3 items you completed (graphic organizer, 1st draft and 2nd draft). *You are not creating a new essay! You are simply choosing one of the two to polish and perfect and type up for a test grade.
HW: Finish applying the rubric to each eassy if you did not in class and then complete the above assignment by Thursday. You will NOT be working on it tomorrow in class. Ms. Christian will be your sub tomorrow, as I will be facilitating Ropes Course.
