Final Essay Test

Hello!

Today you take your final exam. It is an essay.

If you are absent, you have to see Ms. Black about that to plan a time to make it up next week. You are responsible for making that happen.

In-class Essay Writing

You should get a book out and read!

Yesterday you received two poems and a graphic organizer.

Today you're going to get the prompt for your in-class writing. You will be comparing the poems!

Use your graphic organizer to help you with this process.

You have the whole period. If you are absent, you need to arrange a time do the writing after school.

We're Almost Halfway!

Read until your computers are done loading, then get writing.

We will spend most of today writing. 

If you would like to work on writing your book reviews today instead, I suggest you write them in your English Journal before you post them on Goodreads. Scroll down to Wednesday's post for the book review chart and links to other posts about book reviews.

Remember: TWO book reviews of books you have read in the past six weeks are due on Wednesday, November 19st. 

Tomorrow is your 50% day (Yes, on a Saturday). Focus on your short term goal of reaching that checkpoint. Someone who wants to push themselves to be successful in this project should have AT LEAST 5000 words at the end of tomorrow.

Also, a form. Please fill this out honestly.

Let's Write!

Over this past weekend, we started writing our NaNoWriMo novels!

By the end of today, you should have finished 10% of your word count goal.

We will spend most of today writing, but we need to talk about how you update your NaNoWriMo account to show your word count progress.

This is something you do EVERY SINGLE DAY.

Let's practice.
