Today students received their comments from me on their college essays and began to make revision plans. A polished, revised, printed essay is due in class on 20/21 October for peer editing; the final essay--printed and as perfect as possible--is due for grading on 24/25 October.
Student then learned about the books they may choose from for the next unit, Football: A Case Study. They may work with Michael Lewis' The Blind Side, Buzz Bissinger's Friday Night Lights, or Ben Fountain's Billy Lynn's Long Half-time Walk. We will check books out at the GHS library on 20/21 October and begin reading then.
Students then had time to learn about the books their classmates read during the Independent Reading Project, select group members for the IRP Group Presentation, and begin planning for the presentation itself. At the end of class, students signed up for their presentation dates and times.
