We had a productive class this week discussing SAT Essay strategies and steps for correctly citing sources in research papers.
Some of the students have taken the PSAT, the PLAN, and the ACT. We discussed the differences between the ACT and the SAT, especially with regards to the essays. While we didn't write out an essay, I walked through the structure of the test and strategies for writing the essay.
Following the SAT discussion, we turned to topics related to MLA formatting, in-text citations, and signal phrases. We will go through these again in the context of their own rough drafts.
Speaking of rough drafts, I've extended the due date for the first Rough Draft. Instead of October 5, Rough Draft #1 is due on October 12.
