Thursday Prose Workshop: November 16, 2017

Focus: What are we doing well in our timed writings, and what do we need to work on?

1. Warming up with a slowed-down, circle-the-wagon metacognition of The Street

2. Introducing you to my new favorite thing: The Single Point Rubric; using the rubric to address a few sample essays

3. Peer editing your introductions, structure, and evidence using the rubric for guidance

4. Sending me a "Dear Ms. Leclaire" e-mail with your timed writing dilemmas

HW:
1. For tomorrow: Please read Chapters 13, 14 and 15 in Beloved and complete your reading ticket for Socratic

2. For next Monday (Nov 27): [ADJUSTMENT] Please read through the end of Part I (Chapters 16, 17, and 18) and complete your Socratic ticket. 

3. For next Tuesday (Nov 28): Bring in a hard copy of the poem you've chosen for your paper/project. You will write your metacognitive in class this day.

4. For next Wednesday (Nov 29): [ADJUSTMENT] Please read the first half of Chapter 1 in Part 2 of Beloved. No reading ticket necessary.

Heads-up! December 6-7: Poetry papers and project are due.
