Homework:
Summer essay is due tomorrow, Thursday.

Today:
1. Daily Oral Language (DOL)
2. I discuss how my essay was going. I read different revisions of my essay to different classes demostrating how reading aloud helps in the revision process. In some classes I discussed how I revised my essay. Sometimes I condensed two paragraphs into one. Other times I had to just rewrite whole sections because it was easier than editing what was there.
3. I gave the students time to work in class.

Important: I told the students that if they do not have the essay tomorrow, the late grade is two grades lower. I will give them a grade for just having an essay to hand in.
