Words

Place your vocabulary words on the board in these categories:

Longest / Shortest / Word I will never use / Word I would like to use / Strangest looking / Word with interesting OED info


Then consider the papers that you wrote for this class. They were Observation /Remembering/Summary-Response about an Article / Summary-Response about an Image / MLA-Style Informing.

1. Which of these was the hardest to write?

2. Which was the best practice for you as a writer?

3. Which did you dislike doing the most?

4. Which did you enjoy the most?

5. Which would you like to revise some more?


Last of all, think about the use of class time. List two or more activities or tasks that helped you to improve your writing or understand the writing process better, and list two or more activities were less/not helpful for you.

When all this is done, you may hand in your journal.
