Tuesday:

English 12: Beowulf test.  Upcoming reading: The Seafarer, The Wanderer, The Wife's Lament.  Vocabulary Test 2 is tomorrow (Wednesday 9/17)

English 10H: Discuss and look at some examples of step 5 in the paragraph writing process.  Make this final addition to your two practice paragraphs.  Then complete a self assessment of each step of the process using the following questions.  You will choose one of these as your final submission through GC.  Your final submission needs to follow the same format as the 5 Step Paragraph handout.  What this means is that I want each step's sentence(s) followed by your answer to the self-assessment questions. Then, I want the complete paragraph.  On Friday, you will submit a stand-alone paragraph that is your final draft.  Whether you edit as you go on today's assignment, or simply go through the steps and then edit your final submission is up to you.  I will be grading the final paragraph using the assessment questions, but I will not grade your assessments or your edits.

1.  Do I use a controlling idea, or simply state an unarguable fact?  Is there a clear sense of development and mapping in my introduction?

2.  Do I address the relevance of the controlling idea/topic?  Is there a universal importance/bigger picture element to the topic?

3.  Do I adequately explain and describe the example, or is it simply identified?  Are enough details present that will allow the reader to begin to see the connection before I explain its relevance?

4.  Do I explain the example and its relevance as well as connect it to both the immediate task at hand (specific topic) as well as relating it back to the bigger picture/universal experience?

5.  Do I bring the controlling idea full circle in terms of philosophy, bigger picture, and overall relevance to the topic? 

I was absent Monday, but here are the sub plans:

Hour 3: English 12.  Finish Beowulf (pg 43) in class.  The reading guide for 12-17 is on Google Classroom.  After finishing the reading, work on reading guides for use on test.  Beowulf test is Tuesday and is open note with the reading guides.

Hour 4-7: English 10H- Have students work in partners through google drive (they can share back and forth that way) to peer edit their practice paragraphs from Friday 9/12.  They should have two.  Ask them to “suggest” on drive comments and feedback on how each step matches up to the model.  Take 15 minutes or so on this.  Then have them spend the remaining time working on a polished version of each of the two paragraphs.  For Tuesday, they need to bring a polished version of two paragraphs through step 4, with a working version of step 5 for each (the concluding sentence/sentences)
