Easter Monday

I think I overdosed on jelly beans this weekend.  I needed some extra coffee this afternoon.

I apologize for the confusion with the worksheets.  I realized that some of you didn't get the two-sided worksheets.  Everything should be ironed out now.  You may turn the new ones in this Wednesday, or I will allow until Monday to finish, since it was my mistake.

We went over then/than in class.  Your assignment is to write two sentences for each word, for a total of four sentences.

Then we did a seven minute focused free write with the topic "If there is one piece of advice you could give to your younger self, what would it be?" or "If I knew then...."
Marc and Dustyn shared their pieces with us.  Thanks, guys!

For Wednesday: develop and type this up.  Your end result should be half a page to a full page in length, typed.  Bring this Wednesday to work in a peer review session.  Friday will be spent doing a final revision so that Monday you should turn in your final draft, rough draft, and free write from today (I call these your WORKING DOCUMENTS).

At the end of class we started a sentences revision worksheet from our definition papers.

WOW!  You all accomplished SO much today!  Thanks for working hard and being focused!  Well done!

Please also start reading through chapter 16 in your book.  This talks about punctuation.  There is some really great information in here.  As always, let me know if you have any questions/concerns!
