All classes were given directions for expanding Friday's activity and worked on it through the end of the period.
I pointed out that certain careless errors would not be tolerated, expecially the tendency of many to use the lower case 'i' where 'I' is correct, as in I, I'll, I'd and I'm. Email and cell phone texting habits are infecting some of their writing.
As students worked, I conferenced with them individually on their initial writing assignment the first day of school.
Today's work is to be finished and edited for homework. I will make corrections and comments, and return it to them as soon as I can for a final rewrite.
Tomorrow, classes will return activities in the grade level anthology books.
