Block 5 Scribe 8/27/12

Today in Language Arts, Mrs. Smith started us off by explaining our agenda for the day. We then took a pre-test that showed our knowledge about literary terms. Once everyone had finished, we worked for a little on giving feedback to each other's recently completed PLN 1 essays. After that, we graded each others' pre-tests. From there, we moved onto discussing how to give feedback on our peers PLN essays. Mrs. Smith explained to us what a good essay includes like: strong verbs in the topic sentence, no personal feelings or opinions in the summary, and good ideas and thoughts when responding to the work.
