They have worked hard on their research papers, and listening to them talk about aspects of their topics allows the rest of the class to appreciate their hard work. </span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Another aspect of the presentations is that the students are able to give visual images for the information that they had been putting into words. Whether it's maps, charts, videos, etc. these items provide broader representations of their topics. They also all did especially well with the question and answer section. As their classmates asked questions, they skillfully contributed more information, showing just how well they knew their topics. </span></div><div style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">For those who are interested, I've posted 3 Google Classroom materials posts with the slide shows for the presentations. A couple of students have video presentations that will also be posted on Google Classroom when they are turned in.</span></div><div style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="color: black;"><b><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Now, all that's left to do is get the final drafts in.

We began with a Quick Write (Christmas traditions) and then proceeded to student presentations.</div><div><br /></div><div>This morning we heard about Shintoism from Benjamin, AR-15s from Philip, and Psychopathy from Josie. Not only did all three present good information, but they expertly fielded questions from the rest of the class.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>We have one class period left</b>. I've been going over drafts as they come in; students who handed in papers in the past couple of days will get them over the weekend. We're at the point that students should be polishing up their drafts ready for the final draft. Some of the refinements needed included correcting grammatical errors, fixing in text citations, and correctly formatting the Works Cited page. </div><div><br /></div><div>We still have quite a number of presentations to get through, and to do that, I gave the students options. First, <b>we're going to start at 8:30 next week</b> -- I promised food -- so that we have more time. Also, a couple of students were interested in recording their presentations and posting them on Google Classroom so that the rest of class could see them. </div><div><br /></div><div>Students who want to record their presentations can do a video of themselves speaking. If you want to do a presentation that includes slides (Google Slides or Powerpoint) you can use Zoom to do that. Basically, you have a Zoom meeting with just yourself. You can share your screen and record the meeting. The Zoom app then converts the recording, and that recording can be uploaded to Google Classroom. <b>Here's a good video that explains the process: <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v%3D0RN_BZSLjX0&source=gmail&ust=1639188389877000&usg=AOvVaw07hY1oaZNAVZrtksDZc30f" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RN_BZSLjX0" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Record a Virtual Presentation</a>. If a student wants to do this, please contact me!</b></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Next week is the last week of classes for CHAT. </b> We'll start at 8:30, and even though we will be doing presentations, it will be our end of the semester Christmas party. Students can bring goodies to share if they'd like. Because we will have a full class period of presentations, I won't be taking time for the end of class reflection that I usually do. Students should <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://classroom.google.com/c/MzY2MDgwMDIwMTkx/a/MzY2MDgzODQ0MTk1/details&source=gmail&ust=1639188389877000&usg=AOvVaw0T1MKYLz0nWgBDKlC5CQZc" href="https://classroom.google.com/c/MzY2MDgwMDIwMTkx/a/MzY2MDgzODQ0MTk1/details" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">complete the reflection on this Google Form</a>. </div><div><br /></div><div>The goal is to have all work done on the last day, December 16. That said, I have told the students that I would take final drafts until Sunday, December 19. If a student is not sure what work needs to be done, Google Classroom is the place to look. I will send out a Grade Report over the weekend so that you can see current percentages.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Assignments for Next Week:<br /></b></div><div>Finish all the things!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Have a great weekend! <br /></b></div><div><b>Mrs. Prichard</b></div><div><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /></div></div>Tamerahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05620817972068930452noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4529290870053613317.post-3418164538314843102021-11-18T18:32:00.004-08:002021-11-18T18:32:44.719-08:00Writing 3 Class Notes -- Week 12 (November 18)<b style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />Greetings!</b><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">We had a good day in class and covered a lot of ground.</div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Quick Write</b></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">For today's Quick Writes, we had the following prompts:</div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">1 -- Contribute to the list of Quick Write ideas to be used for my classes for the rest of the year.</div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">2 -- Write about a sports mis-hap that happened to you or that you know about.</div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">3 -- November 18 is National Princess Day and November 16, 1553, was the day that Queen Elizabeth I became the queen of England following the death of her sister, Mary.

Some common themes about their challenges came up: time management issues, difficulties finding the right resources, personal challenges, overcoming perfectionism, refining and defining the focus and topic, etc. The students are all in different places in their progress, but they're all moving forward. Some rough drafts have been handed in the the past couple of days, and I will get them back to students over the weekend. </div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">One of the common challenges was finding enough resources. I recommended trying ProQuest or EBSCO, online databases of peer reviewed, academic articles. Most local, public libraries have access to these articles and journals.</div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX8JivwXUVlv08kpn9i6f2OlEfy1yRS8TkKjiZDjDKzUeS42ndytYgLfOP71WRQBsL1u4yvVi9qOMR2d7b1pfpBkTwyEdj9sctF0ebJ2LYQEenZwxkqufALs3Ktej_yclBHYc2IlbO0uA/s225/one+fall+leaf.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="225" data-original-width="225" height="159" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX8JivwXUVlv08kpn9i6f2OlEfy1yRS8TkKjiZDjDKzUeS42ndytYgLfOP71WRQBsL1u4yvVi9qOMR2d7b1pfpBkTwyEdj9sctF0ebJ2LYQEenZwxkqufALs3Ktej_yclBHYc2IlbO0uA/w159-h159/one+fall+leaf.jpg" width="159" /></a></div></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Presentations</b></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Students are required to present something to their class. It can be a quick overview of all their topics or a focused look at one aspect. They can have some kind of visual aid to help them in their presentation. Lots of students use PowerPoint slides, but they could use a poster or use some other object. Because we have a large class, the presentations will need to be short (10 minutes), about which some students are really glad. I showed them a short, humorous video about giving presentations. I'm also posting some of next week's assignments, because they're related to our presentation. </div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Below is our Presentation schedule:</b></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>December 2 -- </b>Michael, Gabi, Philip, Levi, Tyler, Jessie</div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>December 9 -- </b>Benjamin, Elliot, Josie, David, Kara, Maria</div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>December 16 -- </b>Ellie, Ethan, Carson, Brooke, Leighton</div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Sample Paper Reading</b></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Students took some time to read a sample paper by one of my students from about 8 years ago. This was a well-written paper, but not perfect. They were told to look for what the writer did well and what was not as strong. </div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Helpful Resources</b></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">In the links below I've included some websites that might be helpful at this stage of their writing. Some students might need help with in text citations and the Works Cited page. Even though we've talked about this multiple time, it's always a little different when you're actually doing it. One resource listed below is something that one of the students, Kara, said she was using.

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.</span></p><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Quick Write</b></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Our prompts for today:</div><blockquote style="border: none; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><div>Nov. 10 was the birthday of the US Marine Corps</div><div>Nov. 11 was Veterans/Armistice Day</div><div>Nov. 12 was National Chicken Soup for your Soul</div></blockquote><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Students could write something about the military or about something that has to do with social/mental/emotional self-care.</div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Words of the Day</b></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Today's words were war-related:</div><blockquote style="border: none; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><div><b>military </b>-- fr.

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.</div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Students Led Discussions</b><br /></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">We had a presentation on transition words from Tyler, the Works Cited page from Josie, and Works Cited entries from Carson. </div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Writing Instructions</b></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">We continued looking at in text citations and the Works Cited page.

It could be something light-hearted and close to home, or it could be a topic of current cultural or political interest. Then, they were to think about the perspectives of those who are on the other side of the issue. My goal is that they would take some time consider what others think. Not so that they could change their minds about their opinions, but so that they could be more understanding of those who they might view as opponents. Being able to do this is a mark of a mature, wise, and graceful thinker.</div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Words of the Day</b></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>stubborn </b>-- fr, OE, <i>stybb</i>, "stump" -- fixed or set in an opinion; refusing to change</div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>dogmatic </b>-- fr.

I'm sure enjoying this group of students!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Quick Write</b></div><div>Today's prompt was inspired by the fact that is was on this day, September 30, in 1890 that Yosemite was named a national park. I'm afraid I gave some incorrect information. Yellowstone was the first national park, not Yosemite. For the prompt, students were to write about some "great out of doors" adventure. For responses, I heard about some close calls and some good times in nature.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Words of the Day</b></div><div><b>Vernacular </b>-- fr. Latin <i>verna </i>(home-born slave) & <i>vernaculus </i>(domestic; native) -- "home-style language;" common language</div><div><b>Colloquial </b>-- fr. Latin <i>com </i>(with) & <i>loqui </i>(to talk) -- language of a conversational style</div><div><b>Dialect </b>-- fr. Greek <i>dialektos </i>(talk, conversation, speech) and fr. PIE -<i>leg </i>(to collect, gather, or pick out words) -- language specific to a particular region</div><div><b>Idiom </b>-- fr. Latin <i>idiomas </i>(peculiarity in language) -- a figure of speech; words that have meanings other than their literal meaning</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Homework Check</b></div><div>Usually after the beginning of class activities, I check in with the students about any homework questions. We discussed assignments on Google Classroom. I want to clarify an issue relating Google Classroom and the Grades Report that is emailed. If students are missing an assignment, it will say "missing" on Google Classroom. When I import the scores onto a Google Sheets spreadsheet using a grade book app, the missing scores are changed to zeros. </div><div><br /></div><div>Another note about homework. I don't have a specific day that I correct homework, but the plan is to have it done and returned for the following class period. When I'm done correcting work, I will update Google Classroom to reflect both the paper homework that was handed in during class and the assignments finished on Google Classroom. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Student Led Discussion</b></div><div>Two groups of students presented to the class today. First we heard about Note-taking from Eliana and Leighton. The Madeleine and Levi gave us important bibliographical information related to Works Cited pages.

Their Research Proposals were due this week, and a preliminary outline is due next week. As I've told students, the work for the first part of the semester is pretty light, but now it's picking up.

They are a great group of students!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Quick Write</b></div><div>This week's prompts was a little more academic. On September 16, 1620, the Mayflower departed from England. In addition to bringing faith to this new land, the Pilgrims helped lay the foundation for democratic, self-government for the sake of community well-being in their document, the Mayflower Compact. I had the students write about what they felt were essential rights AND responsibilities. These could either be attributed in a large scale to humanity as a whole or closer to home (e.g. I have a right to my personal space and a responsibility to keep it clean.) AND, if they were not thinking so deeply, they could write about their favorite fall beverage!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>No Words of the Day this week.</b></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Writing Discussion</b></div><div>In class we continued our discussion about choosing topics. We also talked at length about developing thesis statements. The Research Paper that the students will be writing will be a thesis-driven paper. Many times, coming up with the essential question that drives a paper can be one of the hardest aspects of writing this research paper. </div><div><br /></div><div>We also took time this week to do some peer evaluations. In small groups, students read one another's rough drafts of their essays. They are to revise their rough drafts into final drafts. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Assignments for Next Week</b><br /></div><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><a href="https://classroom.google.com/c/MzY2MDgwMDIwMTkx/a/Mzc1OTUzNTg3MTg0/details" style="color: #1155cc;">Narrowing the Subject</a></div><div><a href="https://classroom.google.com/c/MzY2MDgwMDIwMTkx/a/MzY2MDgzODQ0MDY2/details" style="color: #1155cc;">Understanding the Thesis Driven Paper</a></div><div><a href="https://classroom.google.com/c/MzY2MDgwMDIwMTkx/a/MzY2MDgzODQ0MDE1/details" style="color: #1155cc;">Final Draft of Essay #1</a></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Links for This Week</b></div><div>Writing 3 Class Notes -- Week 4 (September 16)</div><div><br /></div><div></div><div><b>Blessings,</b><br /></div><div><b>Mrs. Prichard</b></div></div></div></div><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature" dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /></div></div></div>Tamerahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05620817972068930452noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4529290870053613317.post-33661736934022343022021-09-10T20:21:00.001-07:002021-09-10T20:21:07.646-07:00Writing 3 Class Notes -- Week 3 (September 9)<p> <b style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Greetings!</span></b></p><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">We had a good class today.

I will go over those this week and hand them back next week for the students to revise into final drafts. We transitioned into a discussion about the research paper, which is the focus of this class. We discussed reasons why writing a research paper is important. In small groups I had students brainstorm the steps they think they would take to write a well-researched, well-written, and well-documented paper. They all agreed that this is a fairly complicated process.</div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Grades & Scores</b></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I had intended to use Google Classroom's grade book, but it doesn't seem to give parents access to scores, just completed and missing homework. So, I've found an app to use with Google Sheets that imports Google Classroom scores. I will send out weekly scores to the students and parents.

I'm looking forward to working with this group of students. Below are the Class Notes for this week. Every week I will send out notes similar to the ones to these. I include the topics of the class and the direction of instruction. At the bottom of each email I list the homework and links to the blot, to the Google Classroom assignments, and to any other helpful information.</div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I almost always start class with a <b>Quick Write </b>and sometimes with a <b>Word of the Day</b>. I use a variety of prompts for these short writing opportunities that give students a chance to shift into a writing mode. These prompts are sometimes serious but usually light-hearted. For our Words of the Day, I like to choose unusual words, words of current interest, or words with interesting backgrounds. I especially enjoy looking at the etymologies of words and trying to figure out the journey of the word from its ancient meaning and the modern meaning.</div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">For this week's <b>Quick Write </b>I asked students to respond to these 3 questions: 1) What do you need to be successful this school year? 2) What do you need from others, including me, to be successful this year? 3) What can you do for others in order to help them be successful?</div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">We had 3 <b>Words of the Day</b>:</div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>education</b> -- fr.

I used by Samsung Tablet, and I think some of the settings were different from the one I usually use. Next week I will have my computer, webcam, and new microphone. I apologize for the problems that it caused for my students attending via Zoom.</div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Much of our first class of the year is spent taking care of logistics and looking at some <b>Class Resources.</b> I gave the students a Class Policies handout, a syllabus, and a checklist of assignments. These are important documents that will help us be organized with our work this year.

For many students, Google Classroom helped them keep track of assignments, was a repository of any handouts from class that they had lost, and offered an online way to complete homework. Considering those benefits, I will again be using Google Classroom for my classes at CHAT.

They have worked hard on their research papers, and listening to them talk about aspects of their topics allows the rest of the class to appreciate their hard work. </div><div>Another aspect of the presentations is that the students are able to give visual images for the information that they had been putting into words. Whether it's the animals of the national forests, bridges and buildings, or paintings by Degas, these items provide broader representations of their topics.</div><div><br /></div><div>Today we heard about the Dutch language, Degas and Impressionism, technology's benefits and pitfalls, cultural differences in architecture, the national parks, and the history of the piano. We had some technical difficulties for one of the slide presentations, but other than that, the students were wonderful!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Now, all that's left to do is get the final drafts in.

Both were well-prepared and thought-provoking. Next week we will only do presentations, and these are the people presenting: Sophia, Abby Kate, Will, Laura, Isaac, Jacob, Brad, and Katie. (No Quick Writes or instruction!) </span>We are not allowed to eat in our classroom, but I will bring some treats for afterwards.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhX4GJn2qM2u4KTVpvdKooh58zrCjzTvuxv-ECbUwwbMIqlY-JBVL64JIqudRfX50JCygRGNMIg8mJ8qEPgyQn2Hvh2TCDXm9IoUU-eZ0GVXc3MwWT_XlqIU53zPPWF8M1vVOSosTaEQM/s424/how-to-write-a-research-paper.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: times;"><img border="0" data-original-height="244" data-original-width="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhX4GJn2qM2u4KTVpvdKooh58zrCjzTvuxv-ECbUwwbMIqlY-JBVL64JIqudRfX50JCygRGNMIg8mJ8qEPgyQn2Hvh2TCDXm9IoUU-eZ0GVXc3MwWT_XlqIU53zPPWF8M1vVOSosTaEQM/s320/how-to-write-a-research-paper.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: arial;">I reminded the students that their <b>Final Drafts</b> are due next week (Dec. 17), but I also told them that I would take any work until 5:00 pm on Sunday, Dec. 20.

I feel like I'm just getting to know them as students, and we're going to be done. </div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><b>For this week's Quick Write, I offered the following prompts:</b></span></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Option 1: On December 2, 1867, Charles Dickens gave his first reading in America. People waited in mile long lines in New York to hear him read. Is there an author, speaker, or other person whom you would wait in a long line to hear? Why?</span></span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Option 2: On December 1, 1824, the results of the election went to the House of Representatives because no presidential candidate had received a majority of the total electoral votes in the election, and according to the 12th amendment, Congress turned to the House to decide. What do you think of the election results and the efforts to find evidence of fraud?</span></span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Option 3: On December 4, 1783, George Washington bid farewell to his officers, leaving military life before being elected in 1797 the first president of the United States. Do you have a favorite found father, military leader, or world leader? Who and why?</span></span></li></ul></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Following our Quick Write discussion, I went over the various rubrics that we're using with our final products. For the <b>Presentations</b>, I will evaluate the students with a rubric, students will use the same rubric for a self evaluation, and classmates will use a shortened version for a peer evaluation. Rubrics allow for a more holistic evaluation; a student can be strong in one point but weaker in another, and a rubric acknowledges those differences. An important part of learning (and thinking) is to both reflect on work done and to think about the work of others. I also use a rubric for the <b>Final Draft of the Research Paper</b>; students will fill out the same rubric as a <b>Self-evaluation</b>.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><b>Here are the links to the Self-Evaluation Rubrics</b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Presentation Self-Evaluation Rubric</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Research Paper Self Evaluation Rubric</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">After looking at those rubrics, we had our first <b>Student Presentations</b>. Joseph told us about the dangers of rotational falls and frangible technology in the context of cross-country eventing. Lilly, whose paper is about World War I, chose to focus on one aspect, the details of the chemical warfare of WWI. Finally, Dellia had done research about the issue of trafficking in the United States and shared some sad, yet important statistics about this concern. As I told the class, they've worked hard on their papers, and not only is it good for the rest of the class to learn some of what they've learned. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">With two weeks left, students should not only be finalizing their presentations, but they should be finishing up their papers. Every student is in a different place and in varying stages of rough draft revisions and final draft preparations. As soon as a student has a draft ready for me to go over, he/she should submit it to Google Classroom <b>AND send me an email. </b> I'll do my best to get it back ASAP. If there's a concern about a draft or any questions, please let me know. The Final Draft of the Research Paper is due on December 17, which is the last day of class.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><b>Here are the links to the Google Classroom assignments for each of the drafts:</b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Rough Draft #1</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Rough Draft #2</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Rough Draft #3 (opt)</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Final Draft</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><b style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Looking forward to more presentations:</b><br /></div><div><div><b><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">December 10</span></b></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Sophia</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Annika</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Abby Kate</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Martha</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><b><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">December 17</span></b></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Will</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Laura</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Isaac</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Jacob</span></div><div>Brad</div><div>Katie </div><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature" dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><b>We're down to the homestretch!</b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><b>Mrs. Prichard</b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: garamond, times new roman, serif;"><b><img height="32" src="https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=18zI73oGTtL-4FQVrUp_aKrp9dd34evue&revid=0B5Kzca3y-r7WdXZrSXRWSHBZbTF6b2Uzb0hwNkVtNVNCSkVRPQ" width="96" /></b></span><div><span style="font-family: garamond, times new roman, serif;"><b>Tamera M.

At this time in students' lives, they are often thinking about the future and makeing plans. As an older person, I often contemplate who some goals/dreams have stayed the same and how some have drastically changed.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times;">We covered 3 Latin roots in our <b>Words of the Day</b>:</span></div><div><span style="font-family: times;"><b><i>ambi </i></b>- Latin, <i>ambiguu</i>, having double meaning or both -- derivatives: ambidextrous, ambiguous, ambidexterity</span></div><div><span style="font-family: times;"><b><i>aud </i></b>- Latin, <i>audire</i>, to hear -- derivatives: auditory, audio, audience, auditorium. (by the way, audacious comes from <i>audacia</i>, boldness)</span></div><div><span style="font-family: times;"><b><i>aqua </i></b>-- Latin, <i>aqua</i>, water -- derivatives: aquatic, aquarium. aqueduct, aquifer</span></div><div><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times;">We had a short discussion about the challenges of writing this research paper. On a scale from 0 to 5, students were somewhere between 1 and 3. Most of them found time, motivation, and momentum to be concerns. Other issues that came up were the challenges in organizing information, figuring out what to include and what to leave out, and finding the right balance between opinion and facts. The students are each in a different place in their processes -- some are on the first draft, the second draft, or the third draft. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times;">Our other discussion topics for the morning included common grammar topics (commas, semicolons, and the like), documentation, and presentations. We watched two videos about how to give presentations. One student asked about using a video, which would certainly be OK. As I told him, the key issue for this presentation is for students to share their information with their classmates.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></div><div><b><span style="font-family: times;">Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Week.

At the beginning of the year, I think many of us were uncertain about how school would go, but the students have been amazing. Working with Google Classroom, attending class via Zoom when necessary, and wearing masks has not daunted this great group of students. Pat yourselves on the back and thank God for his abundant grace!</div><div><br /></div><div>I gave a plethora of options for the <b><a href="https://classroom.google.com/c/MTE0MjkyOTg2MDI0/a/MjE4MzEyNjQ4MjQ1/details">Quick Write</a></b> today. 1) Nov. 5, 1605 is Guy Fawkes Day in England, which commemorates the plot to blow up parliament, the king, and his family. 2) Nov. 5, 1872 is the day that Susan B. Anthony was arrested for voting (it was not yet legal for women to vote); 3) Nov. 5, 1935 is the day Parker Bros. launched the Monopoly game; 4) Thursday was National Donut Day; and finally, 5) Thursday was National Men Make Dinner Day. Students could write about violence vs. civil discourse, women in politics, board games, donuts, or men who cook.</div><div><br /></div><div>Our <b>Words of the Day</b> were common Latin abbreviations, some I often use in notes to students and others students might encounter in their reading:</div><div>i.e. -- Latin <i>id est, </i>"that is"-- this signals an expansion on a comment. (Make sure you do your homework, i.e. your rough draft and worksheets.)</div><div>e.g. -- Latin, <i>exempli gratia</i>, "for the sake of example" -- this signals possible examples. (You must create a project, e.g. an activity, artwork, or game.)</div><div>c.f. -- Latin, <i>conferro</i>, "to compare with" -- this is often used in reference materials as a shortcut to point out comparisons</div><div>n.b. -- Latin, <i>nota bene</i>, "note well" or "a good note" -- used to draw attention to a side, related comment.</div><div><br /></div><div>Rough drafts of the <b>Research Papers</b> were handed back, so it was time for me to discuss common errors found in the essays. I especially took time to go over the introductions and thesis statements. Personally, I think one of the hardest and yet most important aspects of writing a thesis-driven paper is developing a strong thesis statement and giving a clear road map/plan of development. By the end of an introduction, the reader should know not only the topic, but should know the driving idea (the thesis tells why it's important) and where the essay is headed (the road map tells what subtopics will be covered to support the thesis.) Strong thesis statements elevate a paper from a report with some details to an essay with a strong purpose. </div><div><br /></div><div>Our student-led discussions this week included writing sentences that are parallel (parallel structure) and avoiding writing sentences using the "There is/There are" structures. See the links below for more information.</div><div><br /></div><div>We also talked briefly about the presentations that students will give at the end of the semester when they are done with the writing of their papers. These are to be short 10 - 20 presentations that can include visual aids and that either present the highlights of their information or just one specific aspect. The final drafts of the research papers do not need to be done before the presentation is given. We signed up today, and here are the dates and presenters:</div><div><br /></div><div><b>December 3</b></div><div>Joseph</div><div>Lilly</div><div>Dellia</div><div>Brad</div><div><br /></div><div><b>December 10</b></div><div>Sophia</div><div>Annika</div><div>Katie</div><div>Abby Kate</div><div>Martha</div><div><br /></div><div><b>December 17</b></div><div>Will</div><div>Laura</div><div>Isaac</div><div>Jacob</div><div><br /></div><div><b>A quick note about Google Classroom </b>-- A reminder -- if you go into Google Classroom from another gmail account, you will not be able to answer discussion questions, fill out quizzes, or turn in homework. If you're not sure if you are in the right account, look in the upper right hand corner of the screen where the settings and Google apps icon are. Hover your cursor over the small circle to the right. This will tell you what account you're in. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Have a wonderful weekend!

The best advice I got when I first started homeschooling was to figure out what was refreshing and to do it often. I talked a bit about the fact that because these days are challenging, we all need to figure out how to keep balanced and at peace. As an addendum to this topic, I referenced <a href="https://psychcentral.com/blog/the-hidden-benefits-of-silence/" target="_blank">an article about the benefits of science</a>. </div><div><br /></div><div>Our <b>Words of the Day </b><i> (This is an activity that I have done in previous classes and will do occasionally for this class.)</i></div><div><b>biblioklept </b>-- fr. Greek <i>biblio</i>, "book" and <i>klept</i>, "thief" -- someone who steals books</div><div><b>psephology </b>-- fr. Greek I, "small stone" -- the study of elections, taken from the ancient practice of dropping pebbles or small stones in order to cast a vote.</div><div><b>sophomoric </b>-- fr. Greek <i>sophos</i>, "wise" and <i>moros</i>, "foolish" -- conceited and overconfident of knowledge but poorly informed and immature</div><div><br /></div><div>Following our beginning of class activities, we discussed the progress of <b>Rough Draft #1</b>. For this rough draft, I'm looking primarily for content and organization. Many students find that they are still in the researching phase and that they have a rough, rough draft. That's OK. They should hand in what they've got so that I can give some input and direction. On the second rough draft I will particularly be looking at grammar, mechanics, and sentence construction. </div><div><br /></div><div>Our student-led topics this week included discussions about introductions and conclusions. Martha and Isaac and Joseph did a good job highlighting crucial information about successfully writing these portions of the essay. We also had some good comments and insights from the rest of the class. Below is the list for next week's student-led topics. For the "there is/are" sentence information, I've included 2 sites that might be helpful. </div><div><br /></div><div><span id="gmail-docs-internal-guid-e60f02ad-7fff-7c82-f47f-299fc4cfd6e4"><div align="left" dir="ltr"><table style="border-collapse: collapse; border: none;"><colgroup><col width="66"></col><col width="214"></col><col width="145"></col></colgroup><tbody><tr style="height: 13.3pt;"><td rowspan="6" style="border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-style: solid; border-width: 0.5pt; overflow-wrap: break-word; overflow: hidden; padding: 0pt 5.4pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Week 10 (11/5)</span></p></td><td rowspan="2" style="border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-style: solid; border-width: 0.5pt; overflow-wrap: break-word; overflow: hidden; padding: 0pt 5.4pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Writing Strategies – Parallel Structures</span></p></td><td style="border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-style: solid; border-width: 0.5pt; overflow-wrap: break-word; overflow: hidden; padding: 0pt 5.4pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">1.

This is a good group of students, and I always enjoy the time I have with them in class.</div><div><br /></div><div>As many of you know, the church has expressed that students must wear <b>masks </b>in the hallways, common areas, and classrooms. If students are exempt, parents must communicate with Laura Johnson, who will communicate with tutors. Some teachers allow students to snack and/or drink in their classrooms, but the church doesn't allow food in the clubhouse, which is the room where my writing classes take place. (They can have water.) This week a few students were snacking, and I let it go. Next week, only water. I know that some students are not happy with having to wear masks in class, but they all had great attitudes and seemed willing to bless the church and its leadership. </div><div><br /></div><div>Our <b>Quick Write</b> today had 3 options. First, October is German-American Heritage Month, so I gave students the option to write about their family heritages. Secondly, on October 22, 1938, Chester Carlson invented the first photocopier. He presented it to IBM, RCA, and Kodak, but they rejected it because they didn't see the value in a machine that only made copies. I asked the students to write about their favorite gadget/inventions or about something that they felt needed inventing. And, as always, students could write about anything else that was on their minds.</div><div><br /></div><div>Before talking about our student led topics, we briefly talked about what the students had learned about the consequences of <b>plagiarism </b>from the assignment that they had done for today. We also included comments about why we think people plagiarise. </div><div><br /></div><div>Most of the instruction in class this week was <b>led by the students themselves</b>. They explained the following topics: signal phrases, the quote sandwich, in text citations, and block quotes. Below are links to the handouts that I have for those topics. Each student was well-prepared and I appreciate the time and energy they put into the explanations. Each of these topics deals with how to incorporate material into a research paper. Many young writers simply plop a quote into a paper and leave it to the reader to figure out what the quote is doing there. This paper is an opportunity to learn how to skillfully include a quote so that the paper flows smoothly.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Assignments for Next Week</b></div><div>-- Research Paper Rough Draft #1</div><div>-- Signal Phrases Quiz (GC)</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Links for This Week</b></div><div>Class Notes</div><div>Fall Writing 3 Google Folder</div><div>Student Led Topics</div><div><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1knYpku8NFkB-nhQ54X0pfRKDSFXH8cFh/view?usp=sharing">Block Quotes</a></div><div><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yL6reQcUk9BNw41lfiSANwWQe9wWfLSZ/view?usp=sharing">Effectively Incorporating Quotes</a></div><div><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sdt_vm6MUGQBrNlVkTXFRM-hN2Bf8ZY-/view?usp=sharing">Introduce a Quotation</a></div><div><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DR11dEcWKboumbZr9yykiOxTmLHHeo4d/view?usp=sharing">The Quote Sandwich</a></div><div><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/18zvXRbCKXjKa828Bnf3604zWs6lT-xHK/view?usp=sharing">Incorporating Sources into Papers</a></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Have a wonderful weekend!

For our <b>Quick Write</b>, I asked students to write about a strong opinion that they have. Then, they were to give three specific points about that opinion. Following that, they were to think about what the other side might think. The goal of this Quick Write was to encourage the students to think about how others think about the same topics. As I told them, being able to actively listen to others while trying to understand their perspectives is a sign of maturity. In this day and age, God needs us to value those around us, whether we agree with their strong opinions or not. (By the way, one of the most controversial topics for all classes today was "Does pineapple belong on pizza?")</div><div><br /></div><div>We had a short <b>Words of the Day</b> portion of class. Here are our words:</div><div><b>comma </b>-- fr. Latin, <i>comma</i>, and Greek <i>komma</i>, which means a "piece which is cut off." -- The comma is that little bit of punctuation that separates parts of a sentence.</div><div><b>noun </b>-- fr. Latin nomen, "<i>name</i>" -- The noun is the part of speech that names a person, place, things, or ideas.</div><div><b>veb </b>-- fr. Latin verbum, "<i>word</i>" -- The verb is the part of speech that communicates action or state of being.</div><div><br /></div><div>We covered the following topics today: narrowing and focussing topics; developing leading questions; finding good resources; taking notes, and plagiarism. When writing research papers, students need to consider these various topics as they do their research and start writing their papers. </div><div><br /></div><div>A major topic to consider when writing research papers is the issue of plagiarism, and one of their homework assignments is to read 4 short articles about the consequences of plagiarism. </div><div><br /></div><div>For the last part of class, I divided the students into 2 groups to share their topics and thesis statements. I enjoyed listening to their conversations. Their rough drafts of their research papers are due next week.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Assignments for Next Week:</b></div><div>-- Quick Write 10/15</div><div>-- Truth or Consequences Packet</div><div>-- Research Paper Rough Draft</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Links for This Week</b></div><div>Class Notes</div><div>The Research Proposal assignment</div><div>Research Paper Outline assignment</div><div>Information about Plagiarism</div><div><br /></div><div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature" dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><span face="arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div><div><span face="arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div><div><span face="arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div><div><span face="arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: xx-small;"><img height="45" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEgOxw1iEnnxsknWhclPHv0qRfwE_HziaiUKfvGL8aRpzfyxzd4CN5JyD4z1Luq_UDTeP1c1Og-Px36Utt9CEgrsdO4u8TDK5IBWGRWaB18f5RtDxyJ4QkkgoZ_kYbYYU7DV1f2XNrToF-xN57nDIWgS1Q0LKRWNh_FRM7YXWvAi-RTKQKsx3hUYeKDoxTxY5EIavWPxdTFh5tdPPRooe1frTegMjUf5Bk0gWscv4g-iXmPX1R-YAxvSynx1obD-yR6LU2qHOIPXfXNfGg=s0-d-e1-ft&id=1Og-h3c4DnZ7qzoW8H0eboXhIKjzvmOjW&revid=0B5Kzca3y-r7WR3Q5NEZGZm0rTnJEbm5ZNFM5bjdSQjg3OHJRPQ" width="96" /><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: garamond, times new roman, serif;"><b>Tamera M.

We started with a Quick Write. The two prompts for today were inspired by two October 8 events. In the year 876, <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Andernach_(876)%23:~:text%3DThe%2520First%2520Battle%2520of%2520Andernach,resulted%2520in%2520Charles'%2520complete%2520defeat.&source=gmail&ust=1602335560758000&usg=AFQjCNHXV6mRLt-oojq69tec8jgzpNi5CA" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Andernach_(876)#:~:text=The%20First%20Battle%20of%20Andernach,resulted%20in%20Charles'%20complete%20defeat." target="_blank">Charles the Bald was defeated in the Battle of Andernach</a>. I was struck by the unusual nickname, so nicknames were the topic of one option. Also on October 8, 1871, was the <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Chicago_Fire&source=gmail&ust=1602335560758000&usg=AFQjCNEQvj14XRwJ574k56Vx3D5UXC7UPA" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Chicago_Fire" target="_blank">Great Chicago Fire</a>. I asked students to write about fires, especially if they had a fun fire-related story.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Today we had the following <b>Student-Led topics</b>: Common Knowledge, Mosaic Plagiarism, Paraphrasing, and Summarizing. Plagiarism and correctly recording the information found while researching is part of being an ethical researcher and writer. The students who presented the information did well. We will not have student-led topics next week, but on Oct. 22, these topics will be covered: signal phrases, "the quote sandwich," in text citations, and block quotations. (Please check this Google doc to see who presents what and when.) </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">In addition to these topics, we discussed evaluating sources and the differences between skimming and scanning material to find pertinent information. To further that understanding, I have two assignments for the students: Evaluating Sources and Skim, Scan, etc. They should use sources that are a part of their research for their paper.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Students were to hand in their research proposals today, and the outlines for their papers are due next week. As a reminder, the first rough draft of the research paper is due on October 29.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">In addition to the assignments on Google Classroom, I've posted some material that might be helpful for students to read:</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Resources for Planning the Research Paper</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Research and Relevant Sources</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Research & Note-Taking</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Information about Plagiarism</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><b><span style="font-family: arial;">Have a wonderful weekend.

We started with a <b>Quick Write</b>. For today's prompts, I used the facts that <a href="https://www.historynet.com/today-in-history/October-01">October 1, 1908 </a> was the day that Ford manufacturing rolled the Model T off its production line and that <a href="https://www.historynet.com/today-in-history/October-02">October 2, 1950</a> was the day that the first Peanuts comic was published. Some students also mentioned that Tuesday was National Coffee Day. Many students wrote about car-related stories.</div><div><br /></div><div>Following our Quick Write I usually do a <b>Homework Check </b>(I use the time while they're doing the Quick Write to pass back work.) Today I took time to go over the <b>Final Drafts</b> of their essays. The rubric that I use for evaluating their essays consider 5 categories: Focus, Content, Organization, Sentence Structures, and Mechanics. This allows me to give more holistic grades for the papers they write.</div><div><br /></div><div>I went over the assignments connected with the longer Research Paper which is the primary assignment for this class. We went over the <b>due dates</b>, which are as follows:</div><div>10/8 -- Research Proposal</div><div>10/15 -- Research Paper Outline</div><div>10/22 -- (nothing due)</div><div>10/29 -- Research Paper Rough Draft #1 (focus on content and organization)</div><div>11/5 -- Peer Reviews (in class)</div><div>11/12 -- Research Paper Rough Draft #2 (focus on sentences/mechanics)</div><div>11/19 -- Research Paper Rough Draft #3 (opt.)</div><div>12/3, 12/10. and 12/17 -- Final Drafts and Presentations</div><div><br /></div><div>For next week, students should prepare their <b>Research Proposal.</b> This writing assignment has 2 parts: "Why I'm Interested" and Research Plan. In addition to this short paper, students are assigned a worksheet about developing their thesis statements. I've posted on Google Classroom some other resources for Planning Research Papers.</div><div><br /></div><div>Following this discussion, we had student-led discussions. Lilly and Martha talked about ways to take notes for research paper writing, and I covered evaluating sources and bibliographical information.</div><div><br /></div><div><span id="gmail-docs-internal-guid-38edcebd-7fff-ee3d-1d17-00ff56071fee">Here are the student-led discussion leaders for next week.<br /><div align="left" dir="ltr"><table style="border-collapse: collapse; border: none;"><colgroup><col width="91"></col><col width="318"></col><col width="318"></col></colgroup><tbody><tr style="height: 13.3pt;"><td rowspan="6" style="border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-style: solid; border-width: 0.5pt; overflow-wrap: break-word; overflow: hidden; padding: 0pt 5.4pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Week 7 (10/8)</span></p></td><td rowspan="2" style="border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-style: solid; border-width: 0.5pt; overflow-wrap: break-word; overflow: hidden; padding: 0pt 5.4pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Paraphrasing & Summarizing</span></p></td><td style="border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-style: solid; border-width: 0.5pt; overflow-wrap: break-word; overflow: hidden; padding: 0pt 5.4pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">1.

This is a good, conscientious group of students.</b></div><div><br /></div><div>We started with a <b>Quick Write</b>. For today's prompt, I offered them 2 options. September 15 was Agatha Christie's birthday, and she is known as the "queen of mysteries" with over 80 books to her name. She also wrote the world's longest running play, The Mousetrap. Students could write their opinions about mysteries, a mysterious event, or an original mystery. The other option was related to National Apple Dumpling Day (Sept. 17). Baked apple goods seem to be the quintessential fall food. Students could write about apples or some other favorite fall food.</div><div><br /></div><div>Following our Quick Write, I went over some <b>Google Classroom "Protocols,</b>" hopefully clarifying questions that students have had.</div><div><ul><li>99.9% of your assignments are on Google Classroom (GC)</li><ul><li>You can hand in work on GC or in class but NOT BOTH</li></ul><li>If you do the assignment on Google Classroom, remember to "Turn In" (button in the upper right corner of the window.)</li><li>If you have handed in an assignment during class (the paper version), please the Google Classroom assignment alone. I will assign a grade and return in.</li><li>Some assignments can ONLY be done on Google Classroom. When that is the case, those homework assignments will be designated (GC)</li><li>For the Final Drafts of your essays, follow these steps IN ORDER:</li><ul><li>Open your Rough Draft document, select/highlight all of the content (Ctrl-A) and copy it (Ctrl-C)</li><li>Open the Google Classroom assignment for the Final Draft and then open the document/template.</li><li>Paste the contents of the Rough Draft onto this document.</li><li>Make corrections and revisions. (DO NOT MAKE CORRECTIONS WHILE IT IS STILL IN THE ROUGH DRAFT DOCUMENT!)</li><li>Turn it in!</li></ul></ul><div>This week, students were to take notes of class, and these notes are due in class next week. Sometimes when we are covering a significant amount of content, I will have students take notes and then turn in copies of those notes. Students can hand in the paper copies of their notes next week OR upload copies to the Google Classroom assignment. </div><div><br /></div><div>Students are taking part in some of the instruction of the various topics related to research writing. This week Katie and Laura led the discussion/instruction regarding <b>MLA paper format</b>. They thoroughly covered the bases. (Here's a link to a copy of their whiteboard.)</div><div><br /></div><div>We took the rest of our class time to go over the <b>Rough Drafts</b> of their essays in a peer review session. Students traded papers and read through one another's essays, making comments about content, organization, and mechanics. I was pleased with how thoughtful and intentional they were and how thorough they were in filling out the peer review worksheet.
