October 13, 2015 - Tuesday

Class Work

1. Peer editing activity:

Your draft should have posted to CANVAS. If it did not, let me know.

We will use the paper copy today. Your paper will be read by three others. (See peer editing sheet - handout)

Homework: Revise your draft. Post the final copy in CANVAS by Tuesday, October 20, 2015.

2. Taking care of writing "twins" . . .

• You will adopt one of these often confused set of look-alikes. (Draw a slip out of the box.)
• Look up the difference between the two or among the three.
• Find or draw illustrations to identify each.
• Show the "definition" of each.
• Use each correctly in a sentence.
• Create two questions to use as a quiz to "test" the class. Give these to me on Thursday, October 15, 2015.
• Show on PowerPoint, Prezi, or on a poster.
• We will share on Tuesday - that means that you will have some of the class time to work on the presentation on Thursday.
