It's that day we've been talking about! Peer review day! My hope in this in-class activity, is for all of you to get a good start on forming your essays and to have a a solid map for the direction of your topics.
1. Peer Review-
Get into groups of three, each of you should grade the other two members of the group's work. Please be helpful when filling out the review sheet. Honest answers and appropriate critique can only help your classmates.
2. Poetry Fun-
I love poetry. I believe it is a beautiful form of expression. We have been reading and discussing TKAMB sufficiently in this class. You all have studied the characters, and have been inside their heads. Now, let's celebrate them. You will write two poems in class. The poems will be about a character of your choice from TKAMB. I have found some styles of poetry that I think you will enjoy writing. For your two poems, you will be given two choices each. Here's what I mean. Poem choice #1: Bull Durham Credo or Bio Poem. #2: Haiku or Tanka Poem. Instructions and examples of these specific poems are posted on google classroom. Have fun and be creative!
3. Class Time-
If there is still time in class, you may get into groups and begin working on the Bedford assignment that is due on 5/20, the same time as the paper. Make the assignment a document you can type on and save.
HW: Finish reading TKAMB and keep researching your essay topic.
