Critical Summaries - Ethical Man

I will continue to post information here but your comments are now optional. There is no homework but you should be revising your four entries for the Portfolio. Please bring these to class to do peer editing on Monday.
Also, just a reminder that your blog entries will be due for the last class. You don't need to add any more comments, but please edit the ones you have done and e-mail them to me on Wed. Aug.1st. In total, there should be fifteen entries.
Enjoy the weekend.

Applying to Context

Thanks again to our mini-lesson pre- senters. On Monday, July 16, our last three groups will present: Semicolon (Kirsten, Robert, Mike & Jotie), Homonyms (Kirsten & Jotie) and Syntax (Albert & Boris).
**Reminder: Please e-mail me your Second Diagnostic Essay by 9 pm Sunday, July 15. I will try to return them to you in class on Monday.
Blog question: After reading Chapter 11 "Strategic Reading" in our textbook, please choose an interesting idea in the chapter and discuss how it might help your writing.

Second Diagnostic Essay

**Please note: there is no blog entry for today. Spend your time working on your Second Diagnostic Essay. Please bring it to class on Wednesday.
Thanks to the presenters of the mini-lessons today. On Wednesday, we will have groups do 1) Plurals (Frank, Luan & Jake), and 2) Style (Jared & Robert).

Writing Conclusions

Thanks to our groups who did today's mini-lessons. On Monday, July 9, our next two groups will teach the class about their topics: "Articles" ( Albert, Frank, Luan & Derek), and "Verb Tenses" (Kevin, Peter, Edward & Jake).
Please also prepare for Monday an outline on a topic of your choice on which you will write an essay during class. You should also bring your Diagnostic Feedback.
Blog question: Write a short conclusion about your favorite movie (or another movie). Pretend you have just written a long essay about why this is an important movie in the history of filmmaking. Now you are making some final points about the movie’s significance.
Enjoy the nice weather!
