Writing 3 Class Notes -- December 12


CONGRATULATIONS!!  YOU DID IT!!!

I am so very proud of this group of students.  They worked hard all semester researching, writing, and thinking.  Their hard work showed as they gave their presentations yesterday.  They spoke with confidence about the subjects with which they've spent countless hours.  It was obvious that they'd become experts and "owned" their material. 

Yesterday we had the following presentations:
Daniel -- The Second Amendment and Gun Control
Luke -- Air Power in World War 2, focusing on Pearl Harbor
Noah -- The Structure and Functions of the Brain
Amanda -- Ballet and Inspiration
Alayna -- The Hunger Games and Dystopian Societies
Elise -- Auto Immune Diseases, esp. Celiac, and Healing with Food
Ruth Ann -- The Gray Wolf, Ecosystems, and the Endangered Species Act
Drew -- Birth Order

As you can see, we covered a lot of information.  It was really wonderful to sit and learn from them.  

I will read their final drafts and get them back in the next couple of weeks.  Because we've gone through two rounds of rough drafts, these last versions of the papers will probably read quite smoothly with few, if any, errors.  

Thank you for being such a wonderful class.  Have a blessed Christmas! 
Mrs. Prichard


PS.  My other two writing classes did Christmas Jokes as their Quick Writes.  If you need a little chuckle, I add a post to the Writing 3 blog with the jokes.  Happy Holidays!!
