DW: Reflections on your Poetry Collection.
Things to consider:
- What did you enjoy about the project?
- Did you actually like working on it? and why?
- Or was it chore…why do you think it was?
- What do you wish you could have spent more time on or do better on?
- Your effort? Can you say you put good honest work into the project? or not?
- Were you pleased with your final product when you submitted it?
- What did you learn about poetry?
We are continuing with our essays. Things to consider:
- What order are your 3 body paragraphs going to be in?
- Introduction paragraph must a clear thesis statement.
- Concluding paragraph draws your reader to the same conclusion (your thesis) as you were writing about in your introduction.
- You are then working on putting the essay together…make sure the paragraphs flow nicely together, work on transition sentences
- Check your grammar and spelling! This is formal written work, therefore, no contractions or “I” (first person) used. Use ” for titles of the stories ie. “Fish Cheeks”
- First rough draft of the complete essay is due at the end of class on Friday, May 6. You may want to have it already printed and work on editing and checking grammar and spelling in class.
On Friday, you will hand in a complete essay. There will be 5 parts/paragraphs to your essay (Introduction, 3 body paragraphs, Conclusion). You are not limited in number of words, but it should be about 1000 words minimum.
Keep all your paragraphs, drafts, outlines etc….you will be handing them back in to show progress throughout the essay writing exercise.
