9-1 Class

Today we began class with a very heartwarming story/video about Tara and Bella. Many themes rang true in this video: tolerance, caring for the sick, and trust. You had time to journal about one of these themes including a personal experience that speaks close to your heart.

Next you had a second editing session. Before we began I told you it "looked like" the editing sessions went well yesterday, but looks can be deceiving. I asked to hear from you some comments you received and if it was in fact benefical to you. You did a very nice job giving feedback. Indeed our editing sessions were successful! NICE WORK!

Homework:
The COMPLETE PACKAGE of your Friendly Letter is due TOMORROW 9/2.

Here are some MUSTS for your COMPLETE PACKAGE:
  • Must use font size 10, 11 or 12 on the typed final draft
  • final draft font styles: times/times new roman, arial, tahoma, calibri: CHOOSE ONE OF THESE!
  • do not double space or use an MLA heading on the Final Draft
  • I want your rough draft(s) as well and they MUST have two signatures somewhere from your editors
  • print out a rubric

I DO NOT EXCEPT MY PRINTER WOULDN'T PRINT AS AN EXCUSE! Come early (I am here at 7:30 am, save it to a USB, and I will help you out! The LRC is also open early. You also had homeroom and afterschool hours today to utilize a printer. IF....IF IF IF....for some very odd reason, the solutions do not work, PLEASE bring a letter or have your parents send an email to explain the EXTENUATING circumstances.
