This week I will pass back the paper drafts as I get to them. We will be reading aloud Macbeth this week (an Act 5 quiz will be announced a day in advance).
Paper Revision Tips: (we will do some grammar exercises during the revision process)
all papers need a thesis
events are in past tense
use of lessons, traits, skills is in past and present tense
avoid passive voice
need transitions between paragraphs
avoid prepositions at end of paragraphs
revise to avoid unclear pronoun reference
how you use skills, lessons, values is what the paper is about (the event is the appetizer and the lessons incorporated into your life is the MAIN dish...the bulk of the paper)
Next week:
March 1st...guest speaker
The rest of the week...bring your literature books...sonnets
Bring your grammar books...paper revision review assignments
