11.04 - Revisions and Dystopias

At the start of class today, everyone responded to the following writing prompt in their writer's journal:

What did we do this quarter?
(3 minute brainstorm)

After everyone had a chance to respond to this prompt, we discussed people's responses and impressions of the quarter. There will be a more organized and formal mode for feedback, but this served as a review for what we have covered so far.

Next, I returned the set 1 double entry journals to students along with feedback sheets and we discussed overall student performance on this assignment (see feedback slide below).


Then, I returned various other assignments to students and everyone had the next twenty minutes to work on revisions for the following assignments:

Anthem Chapter 1 annotations (due 11/14)
Anthem Set 1 Double Entry Journals (due 11/14)

In the final twenty minutes of class, everyone had time to work on their dystopian short stories that use figurative language (which is explained with an author's statement).

Handouts:


Homework:

Finish your dystopian fiction w/ author's statement (due Thurs, 6/11)

Complete revisions for Anthem chapter one annotations and set one double entry journals (both due Fri, 14/11)
