Classwork and Homework

Today in class, we first took a hard quiz on Vocabulary List 9. I will be merciful when scoring them, I promise. :) Next, we reviewed the rubric and what is required for the thesis statement and body paragraphs of your essays. You can review your rubric (pg. 2-3 in your pink packet) for what we talked about. Next, we talked about what is required for your annotated bibliography (at least 4 sources with short summarized notes). We also looked at transitions that can be used for process analysis essays. Lastly, we did a peer review of the paragraphs that you completed for homework last night.  I have included samples for the annotated bibliography and a final draft of a student's Process Analysis Essay below. The PowerPoint for today can also be found in the link below.
