Tuesday 17 October 2017 for Periods 2, 5 & 6 and Wednesday for Periods 1 & 7
After fifteen minutes of Membean, Mr. Stone shared a list of four different writing process models. He discussed with students which model was most like the one(s) with which they were familiar and spent time talking through opening stages of Donald Murray's model, which is the least like the models the students have encountered.
Mr. Stone also shared about the process he was taking to produce his upcoming newspaper column.
Students need to write a summary of the novel they read for their first book report in two paragraphs. Each paragraph should contain eight to ten sentences. They should write out their summary by hand.
Mr. Stone warned students about trying to fake whether they had read the book they said they would read. He informed them that the final draft of their report would be submitted to Turnitin.com, a plagiarism checker that compares students' papers to content on the Internet as well as the company's vast databases. He encouraged the students to be honest about what they had read and not read and to work out arrangements if they were not done reading.
Homework: Students should finish writing the two-paragraph summary of the novel they read.
Note: Period 7 had a study hall on Tuesday, October 17th since they have four periods this week and all the other periods only have three.
