Comp. Lit. II:

Today:

Journal prompt:  Pick your final Catcher prompt from the list and write a final one page prompt.

I collected your books.

I asked you to combine your sticky notes and submit them for credit.

We began our MCAS boot camp
Today we:
Talked about what to do to prep for the test.  1.  Get a solid night sleep.  2. Eat a carb filled dinner, and good breakfast.  3. Avoid empty sugar and energy drinks.  4. Pick one novel that you read and outline the main characters and plot.  5. Consider re-reading it to freshen your memory.  6. Consider what we have read the 1st month.  Have something strong in your mind.

We looked at specific MCAS tips to improve your writing.

I gave you each a copy of last years exam.  We went over any new rule changes.

We looked at the 2 possible writing prompts for 2013.  For each, I asked you to write a clear thesis sentence, remembering to underline the title of the book.  We shared these and came to an agreement on which ones were strong, and more importantly, why?
