Good evening all!
I have read many interesting posts and, likewise, many lovely and sincere feedback.
I hope you all get my idea of asking you to give each other feedback. Sincere and in-depth interactions among readers are most oftentimes the drive for more reading and sharing. It is said, "reading is a social act!"But, as a reading teacher, seeing some of you keeping identifying yourself as "not good at reading, nor interested in reading" makes me feel funny and sad. I do hope to change this situation for the better so that you don't suffer too much in this class, but consider this class fulfilling (definitely not making it easier!).
So, for our class tomorrow:
1. We'll begin by browsing some of the logs you wrote and feedback to your log 2. I'll also show one of your senior's personal blog for an example.
2. Then, we'll do student sharing as we did last week. Please be prepared to share and prepared to join the discussion.
3. After reading two professional essays (e.g., Snake and Still learning from my mother), one student sample essay will be given to show clearer structures for essay writing. I'll use this sample to talk about thesis statement and topic sentence as a review of your learning last year. You can also click the materials I uploaded (e.g., thesis statement, body paragraph) for references and self-learning. If needed, we can dig into those slides for more examples.
4. Do not forget to bring your draft 1 of Essay 1 for peer review. You'll read your draft to a peer who will help you clarify if you do have a thesis statement and topic sentences for your essay.
5. If time allows, I'll move forward to video making examples.
ps. I have seen two log 3 uploaded. Please check the 'gradesheet' I uploaded, on which there are deadlines (due days) for all logs. Log 3 is not due until 10/19!
See you all in class tomorrow!
