03.16 - Paraphrasing, Roots, and Revision

We started today's class off by playing a new game focused on paraphrase called, "The Paraphrase is Right." In class, we reviewed our discussion last week on effective summaries and then shifted our focus to effect paraphrases. After defining paraphrase and looking out how to write paraphrases, we played "The Paraphrase is Right" (see below).

(directions and episode 01)

Following this, I returned all assignments that I had which had been turned in for assessment. We went over the volcanology processing questions from last week specifically (see class feedback below) and I handed out grade report sheets. I also handed out the word list and practice quiz for the set 15 roots and prefixes.

Everyone then had the remaining time in the period to work on revisions or set 15 roots and prefixes.

While people were working on these assignments, I met with people individually to look at assignments and answer questions.

Handouts:
Roots set 15 - word list
Roots set 15 - practice quiz

Homework:

Complete the set 15 roots practice quiz for Wednesday.

Prepare for the set 15 roots quiz on Thursday.
