Mr. Stone reviewed the Jane Schaffer approach to expository writing with the students through a PowerPoint presentation.
Students submitted the film essay prewriting, rough draft, peer critique sheet, and revised draft stapled together with the prewriting on the bottom and the revised draft on the top.
Mr. Stone informed student that the film essay would be set aside for several weeks while they worked on their book report and reviewed some skills for editing.
Students discussed with Mr. Stone potential subtopics for their book report: characters, plot, setting, point of view, or theme. Students began a T-chart to help them determine their viewpoint of their book report selections.
Homework: Finish the T-chart of strengths(likes) and weaknesses (dislikes) of your book report selection and complete one body paragraph prewriting chart.
