- Journal: What makes the essay accepted by Cornell an effective essay?
- Essay # 1 feedback. Went over the writing process:
- brainstorm, write some ideas down; let simmer.
- Write initial draft. Read over, make corrections, simmer for 24 hours
- Go back and proofread again
- read it out loud
- read sentences from end to beginning
- Went over common mistakes: verb forms, repetitions, redundancies, pronoun agreement...
- College App Essay #2 is due 9/23 for peer review. The prompt is question 29 in the packet. (That's the same day that group 2 journals are due, so manage your time wisely.)
- Discussed the factors that made the essay accepted by Cornell effective.
- Tonight: read and annotate the essay accepted by Princeton.
Grade 10
- Journal: How are the "Draculas" in Bram Stoker's Dracula and the Bela Lugosi Dracula the same? Write a claim statement and support it with two pieces of evidence from each video.
- Viewed the trailer for Nosferatu. Applied the same process as with the others: t-chart to gater evidence then claim/evidence paragraph describing this vampire.
- Finish for HW.
