Monday 24 October- English 9
Today we will focus on revisions to the Fiction Skills essay.
Pds 2&5- Focus on revising for smoothness. Some of these read very choppy and needed better transitions. Also, I wrote down my Top 5 most common errors, which are below.
1. It’s “versus” not vs. Write out that word.
2. Title format- Of Mice and Men
3. Capital letters!
4. No 1st (me, my, we, I) or 2nd person (you, your)
5. “I feel” or “I think” makes your paper sound weak.
Wednesday 19 October- English 9
Put together the rough draft of the big paper. The paper requirements and directions are in Classroom. Use this workday to get stuff done!
Enjoy your time off!
