SENIORS: In your notebook, under the title Freewrite Weekend, spend 5 minutes writing about anything that pops into your mind about this past weekend. Don't worry about spelling, punctuation, syntax,etc.--just keep the pen moving, without stopping, for 5 solid minutes.
Also, you read an article that gave some good advice about writing a first draft. You were to annotate for every paragraph, including the text feature at the top of the page giving information about the author. Due to its format, I couldn't put the article on my blog, so get a copy from me ASAP.
SOPHOMORES: First, we reviewed MLA format. I will be taking 5 points off of work not shared with me in MLA format. Next, I showed you how to find old information on past blogs (type the keyword in the search box located in the upper left hand corner). Lastly, you had time to finish your rough draft, due at the end of the period today. Don't forget to highlight and identify the elements I'm looking for in the rough draft. In case you've forgotten, here is the link to what needs to be present. Also, when you highlight, pick ONE pastel color; I find it distracting when I read papers that have bold, multicolored highlights.
