I am so excited by the conversations and conferences that is happening in 198 today. TEACHER HAPPY DANCE!

I noticed a few things when skimming Google Docs this morning:

  1. Make sure you are writing on MY Google Doc so that I can see your daily progress.
  2. Make sure that your thesis is specific enough to fully answer the prompt and not just restate the prompt.

If you need help with writing a succint yet specific thesis, I have a file of template thesis sentences for literary analysis for you to look at in Schoology.

We are starting our essay today! Make sure that you READ and understand the parameters of the assignment.

A few important reminders: Write on my Google Doc. I will be looking at your process, so if you copy/paste from another source, I won’t be able to see that.

A lot of the choices regarding the essay are up to you: your structure and how much evidence you put in. This is intentional. I know you aren’t used to this, but this is an expectation in collegiate level writing.

I am going to hop on the documents before class starts tomorrow to give quick feedback for those who have soemething written down.

Please make sure you a confident and comfortable with the task before the weekend hits. The TurnItIn due date is on Sunday and 11:59 and the Schoology/Google Doc due date is 1/31.

Ugh. Today’s activity ISN’T working out the way that I had hoped, so we are just going to switch to Plan B: reading and annotating.

You can find the article in Schoology or right here. You can see that I have started to annotate. I want you to add to this. The idea was that we were creating a collaborative document with notes, but it’s not working out that way. I’m frustrated, but what can you do?

You can share with other people, but make sure that you share the document with me, as well.

Tomorrow will be better, I promise! Tomorrow we play Jenga!
