We have been doing the vocabulary unit in class. I feel that after three days (and some review tomorrow) we are ready for the quiz. The words will be fresh in their heads. Let's go for it.
The students owe a rough draft of their autobiography Friday. We did vocab in class so they can use their home time to do writing. The picture with this blog shows a basic example of an essay. In sections 4 and 5, this essay would score about a B+. In sections HB and 6, it would score an A. The students have read the example and know what I am looking for.
