03.10 - Revisions

To begin class today, we returned to work with our public figures by having each person write a haiku about the person they are researching. We then shared these out as a class.

I then handed out revision sheets for the set 11 roots and prefixes quiz and returned rubrics to students who had submitted the initial drafts of the background section on their public figure. I reviewed these drafts with several people and everyone had the rest of the period to work on their revisions or share their project after reviewing it with the rubric we are using.

Relevant material/handouts:
