En 12: Notes from Tuesday, 1 Feb

Today we looked at the blogging rubric and practiced posting comments.  Usually, comments are about four to five sentences long, but there is no "set" length.

We also reviewed the diferent types of sentences: simple, compound and complex.  Remember to vary your sentence style AND sentence length.  Three students shared a sentence from their setting paragraphs and we discussed them - thanks Janine, Brianna and Robert.

Finally, we did some peer editing of the paragraphs that I will be collecting tomorrow.

Please remember to read 25 pages every night.  I encourage you to use the blog to post your comments as you might in a journal.  Also, remember to keep your study guide questions up to date.  It is especially important to put down the PAGE NUMBER where references are found - this will make your essay writing much easier.

EXPECT A READING QUIZ AT THE START OF TOMMORROW'S CLASS.

  1. This comment has nothing to do with English 12, but I have nowhere else to ask this. Why isn't there a History 12 blog? Are you in the process of making it?
