We had another full class time this week. When I first started teaching at CHAT, I didn't know how I would fill a 90 minute class. Now I wish I could have the students for even more time because there's always more to cover. On Google Classroom this week I have a couple of posts that include material that might be helpful as they work on their in text citations and Works Cited pages.
Quick Write
Our prompts for today:
Nov. 10 was the birthday of the US Marine CorpsNov. 11 was Veterans/Armistice DayNov. 12 was National Chicken Soup for your Soul
Students could write something about the military or about something that has to do with social/mental/emotional self-care.
Words of the Day
Today's words were war-related:
military -- fr. Latin militis, "soldier" -- of or relating to war, soldiers, armyveteran -- fr. Latin, veteranus, "old, aged, experienced" -- someone who has served in the military; someone who has had long experience in an occupation/skillarmistice -- fr. Latin, arma, "weapons" and stitium, "to stand, be firm" -- a temporary halt in battleswar -- fr. PIE (Proto-Indo-European) wers, "to confuse, mix up" -- a fight carried on in battle using arms
Homework Check
At this point in the semester, all of the students are in varying places in their writing. The first rough drafts were due a few weeks ago, and some of the students are still working on that draft. As I've said, the purpose of the rough draft is to make sure students have enough content and have a good organizational plan. After any content and organizational issues are corrected, the paper is then ready for me to go over with a "fine tooth comb." If students are behind, they need to find the time to get their writing done.
Students Led Discussions
We had a presentation on transition words from Tyler, the Works Cited page from Josie, and Works Cited entries from Carson.
Writing Instructions
We continued looking at in text citations and the Works Cited page. We also covered hanging indents.
Assignments for Next Week
Citations Quiz (on Google Classroom)
A Note on Assignments on Google Classroom -- All drafts of the Research Paper should be submitted on Google Classroom instead of paper copies in class. If students do this, I can read and correct them sooner and get them back to the students.
