7th - 8th Writing, November 21

Lesson:
This was a rough class session. Recent student papers show serious errors and deficiencies that I needed to address. I realize many of the students have missed different lessons here and there, due to camping, speech/debate, etc., so may have spotty understanding. I scrapped the planned lesson and reviewed key points instead.

Assignment:
Class will not meet Thanksgiving week, but will resume December 5.
The students are to revise their latest compositions to meet all the criteria we discussed in class.

Hi Becky,

Will you be updating your blog this week? I just wondered what the details are on the assignment. How is Nathan doing in your class? I would love an update! Thanks!

Hi, Lori Ann! I have updated the blog with the new assignments. I am sorry it was later than usual this week.

Nathan is doing well. He has a gift for communication and is confident in his ability. He seems to enjoy writing, and takes pleasure in doing a good job. I enjoy having him in class, as do his classmates.

I write comments and corrections on the returned homework, along with grades. Those will give you an idea of how he is doing week by week.

I will be sending a semester evaluation for each student in mid-January.
