Revising the Book Report & Drafting the Film Review

Tuesday 6 January 2015 for Periods 2, 5, & 6 and Wednesday 7 January 2015 for Period 7

Mr. Stone directed students to highlight the thesis purple in the introduction and conclusion of their papers. Students should not highlight any part of the two summary paragraphs. Highlight the following elements in each of the three analytical paragraphs: the topic sentence should be blue, the sentence of concrete detail should be pink, and the sentences of commentary should be green.

When you are done highlighting the ten sentences of one of your analytical paragraphs, you should have one blue, three red, and six green.

After highlighting their reports, students then swapped with a partner and completed a peer critique of their partner's paper. They were to answer all the questions on the peer critique sheet as well as write suggestions and words of praise on their partner's paper.

Students received handouts to help them prepare a rough draft of their film review. Mr. Stone also passed back to students their completed prewriting tables. The rough draft to the film review is due at the beginning of the first class next week.

Homework: Complete a revised draft of the book report. Students will complete a peer edit of the revised draft during the next class.
