Mrs. Ehle's Writing Session Calendar

10-8 Class

I hope everyone had a pleasant Friday!


IF YOU WERE ABSENT AND MISSED THE VOCABULARY UNIT 3 TEST on Thursday, you will take it MONDAY during LUNCH/HOMEROOM.

In class I gave you the entire period to complete the assignments I gave you yesterday.  On Monday I will collect:

  • Questions from Chapters 10-13
  • Your one page TYPED essay (see yesterday's blog entry for the specifics)
In regards to your essay, utilize the MLA sheet Mrs. Knudson uses in her class along with the sheet that gives you pointers on what to have/not to have in your essay (i.e. get, got, alot, "for example", etc.)  Although I do not expect you to work as you are for Mrs. Knudson's Animal Farm essay, remember this exercise is to help you when you do writing samples for the AP English exam or the ACT.  You will be given a topic and 30-45 minutes to write a well-organized essay with minor punctuation/grammar/mechanics errors.  

I look forward to reading your work next week.

This weekend, if you have time, check out Channel ABC around 3:30 p.m.  You may want to watch this before you click on the TV http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TVcKYpZrj0
