Hello!
I hope this finds you well. I am so glad that you are checking in. Here is the tenative schedule for the week and helpful information for you to know.
WRG resume on Thursday. You will be with your new group. I am expecting some awesome writing that is full of style and purpose. You write everyday in class...you have a ton of potential content and possible ideas. Use your WRG to make your writing the best it can be. Give and offer feedback! Be the work in progress! Be the process! Refer to the WRG expectations you got earlier in the year. Some copies will be made available in class this week.
Monday
* Book projects are due. They will be graded with a rubric on the spot and in class. Your grade will also be based on how you interact with each other and the projects - as well as your small book group talks. You need to give academic feedback and talk about your books/projects with authority and purpose.
