Short Story Test: Thursday (See Friday's post for the outline)
Short Story Due Tuesday, April 2 (Attach the good copy to the draft)
Peer editing Wednesday, March 27.
Today:
I collected the first draft of your stories for editing.
We all chose a new book to read.
Start a new USSR book of your choice--one you have not yet read but one that you are really looking forward to reading.
You need to read 15 pages per day during class so choose a book at your reading level.
1 book per month= C+ 15 pages 5 X a week
2 books per month = B 30 pages 5 X a week
3 books per month = A 45 pages 5 X a week
Marks awarded for bringing and reading the book quietly during class. Completing a USSR form with specific details from the book. Increasing your reading speed. We'll practice during class. Aim for 1 page per minute. It may be slower at the beginning of the book.
Choose a variety: novels, biographies, memoirs, science fiction, fantasy, poetry, drama, history, commentary etc
We went over the short story test outline. See last blog post.
We practiced for the test. Get the notes from a friend.
Homework: Study for the test. Read at least 15 pages of your USSR book.
Finish your story and submit tomorrow if you were absent today.
