Class # 8

Have you noticed I can't decide what tense to use for my blogs?

So, I return your journals and papers. You must use the Everyday Writer "Top Twenty" (laminated handout or Section 1) to figure out your editing problems; then make a list in your journal with a count of each error.

We go over grammar handouts.

Groups discuss Alice Walker's piece, share beginnings and compare Ex. 24.2.

Peer review.

Homework

1. Read in Reid "The Red Chevy" pages 145-148.


2. Create the final version of the Remembering paper.
Edit carefully, with special attention to fragments, c.s. and run-ons.

3. In your journal write out a completely different beginning for your Remembering essay. Try to think of
a totally new way to begin.

4. Make sure that in your journal you finish the work from class: listing the editing error count from the Observation paper and listing the beginnings you brought to class.

5. Two vocabulary words.
