« Friday, February 3 | Main | Keys to Revising your Research Paper »

Warm-Up: Students read a passage about "The Alps of Europe." From that passage they were to practice answering elements of a story, and practice sequential order.

Materials:
A. Write Source book page 405 (for revision)
B. Research Paper
C. Student thesaurus and student dictionary

Activity 1: Students looked at some student examples of the rough draft. Mrs. Abrams went through the paper asking the students if there was any problems, and how they could fix them. If you would like a student example of the rough draft, look in the MGLC (Mabry Global Learning Colabrative) section of this blog.

Activity 2: Students were to look at page 405 in their Write Source book to make sure that their paper followed the "research guidelines." Students worked on their paper, checking each line carefully for 35 minutes. They revised their paper in complete silence or close to that! Then, using the dictionary and thesaurus, students made sure their sentences were written apropratly.

Homework:
A. Work, for 15 minutes, on your revision. No more, or less than 15 minutes
B. As always, read for 30 minutes and complete an entry in your reading log.
**Happy reading and writing!**
