Daily Log

Tuesday, September 7

Students were introduced to the Oxford English Dictionary (available free online to all King County Library cardholders), and we briefly discussed how language (and specifically the English) has changed through the years and continues to change.

Students silently reread their paragraphs on "The Sun Still Rises in the Same Sky," then paired up and read them aloud to each other. After that they numbered the sentences in their paragraphs and labelled them as to type (TS, CD, CM, CM/CD, CD/CM, CS). They were instructed to mark changes on today's draft, then revise it to produce a final draft and turn in both drafts tomorrow.

HW due Wednesday:
First and final drafts of paragraph on Bruchac essay.
