Class Today and Homewok

Today in class we will first review the peer review with our partners, take our last vocabulary quiz of the semester, and you then will have time to work on your final drafts and prepare for your Integrated Writing test tomorrow.

1. Take 10 minutes to review the feedback that your partner has given you on the peer review. Make sure to ask them questions if you have any about what they said or the meaning of what they said.

2.  Please open http://m.socrative.com in another tab. Once you are there, it will ask you to put in a room number. The room number is: 978947. Wait until the teacher starts the assignment and you can begin. When you are finished, you can exit out of the window.

3. You may now work on your essay by looking at my feedback on turnitin.com, and by looking at the student sample papers online, as well as your rubric. This is the time that I told you I would be free for questions about APA formatting and citations.
