To work on needed skill mastery, we have made serious changes to the syllabus.  These changes affect the second "did you read" quiz and skill test date.  UNIT TSL-09 revised.doc

Your "Did you read?" for the second half of the novel will be on 11/6.  At that point you should have the second portion finished. 

To prepare for Friday, you should have one "fish fest" question for your reading to page 168.

Also, complete any unfinished POD journals.  At this point you should have the following patterns developed in zero draft journals:

POD--definition.doc

POD description--with guilt.doc

Station 4_ exemplification.doc

POD--cause and effect using exemplification.doc

POD--compare and contrast.doc

Have your thesis for the first chapter analysis ready to publish on Friday.

Create a question for the line assigned to you last class.

Finish your compare and contrast journal.

You have a "Did you read?" test on Friday. 

Define the tone and TSL terms, find an example of the style and grammar terms to plug into your GPS on Friday. 

Write a thesis for paragraphs 2 and 3 from the "Flood of Sunshine" chapter.   Use the notes on thesis development which you took today.  You will use your thesis and your definitions/examples of this unit's terms during a Showdown activity (extra-credit on the line).

TSL skill test next block.  TSL_review.doc 

We will resume POD journals after the test--narrative is next!

Today we did some intense self-revisions.  Your main objectives:  You is dead to you!  NOT to be--that is the answer! And, Cut the Fat!

Upload draft 2 to your class wiki (remember, we're trying to work the bugs out of this process).  At this point you should have a draft that has "tracked changes" and comments on it, and a new revised draft. 

Have some fun with this revision--try these new tools and experiment with some of the tools you've defined in your GPS and identified in other writers' work.
