Greetings!
This was an interesting day of classes.
Most students were processing the election results. I talked at length
about our responsibility to pray for and bless all those who were
elected into office last night. 1 Tim. 2: 1-4 commands us to do this.
It's always good to align ourselves with God's plan.
I gave the students 2 options for the day's Quick Write.
They could either discuss how an elected politician should represent
his constituents OR a quote from John Steinbeck about words. They had
thoughtful responses.
We did some Grammar work this
afternoon. One challenge students seem to have is knowing where to
place commas, so we discussed restrictive and nonrestrictive clauses.
Commas are used with nonrestrictive clauses. Hopefully this will help
them as they continue to work on their rough drafts.
We went
around the class and talked about the research and writing process for
each student. They have really worked hard and are becoming experts on
the topics they have chosen. With this kind of project, the process is
as important as the final product.
They handed in their Rough Draft #2
this week. We discussed that if only a portion of the paper was ready
for me to go over, they could hand in a portion and e-mail other
portions later.
We're nearing the end of the term and the final days of this class. Good work, y'all!
Have a great week!
Mrs. Prichard
