Today I had to attend a training in the building all day, so Periods 2 and 3 had a substitute come and help out while you finished up your workshops. From what I heard, you all did a great job and were able to finish up! Hopefully, this was a helpful experience for you and I hope that you gained some valuable feedback from your peers. I asked that you turn in one or two of your three total drafts that you need the most help on. I will take the drafts home Monday night, read them, record my feedback in a conference record, and meet with you Tuesday and Thursday individually to address your needs. Tuesday, we will meet in the computer lab so you can start weeding through your drafts, looking over the feedback you recieved, and begin working on your final drafts. Here is a brief outline of the upcoming week: TUESDAY - Teacher conference and lab time
WEDNESDAY - No classes; PLAN and EXPLORE testing
THURSDAY - No block schedule: follow your 1-8 schedule today. Continue conference time, complete self assessment and unit reflection.
FRIDAY - PORTFOLIOS DUE! YIPEEE! Your portfolios must consist of the following: Three polished, final drafts, each of different genre, three writer's memos (see your rubric for more info. For an example, view one of mine by clicking here), three rough drafts that show revision and editing. Also, please attach a nice cover page with your name, period, date, and anything else you want to add. I love pretty portfolio covers!
