Thursday, November 13th

Rough draft due: peer editing and quote check.

Class was divided into two parts: those who have a rough draft and those who did not complete the rough draft. The non-completers wrote a letter of explanation and apology to the teacher while Mrs. Evans explained the peer editing procedures to those who brought drafts to work on. As the students peer edited in a round-robin style, Mrs. Evans worked with the non-completer students on outlining and beginning their papers (45 minutes). The final draft of The Crucible thematic essay is due Tuesday, November 18th (this replaces a unit test, and should reflect your highest level of work).

Read pp. 129-135 of The Crucible in class/discuss.
HW for Monday: pp.135-146.
