ERWC Period 1

1. Congrats to all of period 1 for 100% Completion of the Final Senior Reflective Essay!!!! However, I am not satisfied with the work that was submitted. Many of your essays are one draft shy of much better, convincing stories. Most of them however lack descriptive details.  Because of this, tomorrow, each of you will receive your Senior Reflective Essay Draft back, and we will work on a strategy called Idea/Detail, and Show Dont Tell. To get a head on tomorrow's lesson, please read pages 28-32 at the useful Writing Teacher's Handbook Writing Strategies pdf 
2. Although you were encouraged to finish reading The Stranger, you may not have since it was not listed on the Blog. Finish reading it.
3. Lastly, we will hear from the groups, The New Jim Crow and Mexican Whiteboy for sure tomorrow. If all groups do not have a chance to present, some groups may have to present afterschool on Tuesday or Wednesday.
