I hope you all had a good 3-day weekend.

Today in class, we will did Journal Entry #3: What is your attitude about reading? Why do you have this attitude?

We did work on subject and verbs. We learned that [1] the subject of a sentence will never be in a prepositional phrase [2] that a verb can consist of more than one word and [3] that subjects and verbs can be compound (more than one).

We also shared 1st drafts of paragraph 1 in groups. If you did not have a draft or were absent, make sure to have two classmates read your draft and have each one fill out this form.

We will go over the Kanar homework and continue work in Kanar Chap 1.

Day 3 (Week 1)

2008-08-29T04:04:00.000-07:00

You made it through the first week. Good job! Only 15 more weeks to go! :-)

We wrote Journal # 2: Who is the best teacher you ever had?

Today in class we began work in the Kanar text. We read the article "From Jedidiah to Jordan: What to Name the Baby" on pp 5-6. See below for your homework for Kanar.

We also talked about the first vocabulary quiz. It is scheduled for next Friday 9/5. You need to know the ten words from page 4 of Kanar. I suggest using index cards to study.

We did the first article sharing. Those of you who had articles and shared, good job. For those who did not have an article to share, be prepared next time. Due next class is a summary (75+ words) and reaction (50+ words) of the article. Even if you were absent or did not have an article to share today, you still can turn in the summary/reaction on Wednesday 9/3.

We also reviewed the assignment for Paragraph 1.

We continued work in Chap 4 of the Langan text on subjects and verbs. The quiz on this chapter will likely be next Friday, 9/5.

Homework for Wednesday 9/3

Paragraph 1, 1st draft. Be ready to share your draft with a small group of classmates. Also, remember to double-space your draft.

Day 2

2008-08-27T04:02:00.000-07:00

We wrote journal # 1. What things do you like and dislike so far about LCC?

We talked about the four goals of effective writing today which are

Have a point and state that point in what is called a topic sentence.
Support the point with details such as facts, reasons, and examples.
Organize (put in a logical order) the supporting details.
Write error-free sentences.

We discussed the first writing assignment--Paragraph 1. The topic of the assignment is one thing you did during the week of 8/18 to 8/22. The first draft will be due on Wed 9/3 and it should be one paragraph of at least 150 words. Make sure to strive to achieve all four goals of effective writing in your paragraph. The first draft can be handwritten. If you type it, I will give you bonus points.

We also talked about Article sharing. Get an article sharing handout here.

We then did work in Langan on subjects and verbs.

Homework for Friday 8/29

Bring an outline of Paragraph 1.
Read a newspaper or magazine article, cut it out, and bring it to class. Be ready to share with the class the basic who/what/when/where/why of the article you chose.
Do Practice 1, 2, 3 on pages 91-93 in Langan. If you need help finding subjects and verbs, go here. Also, I suggest you take a look at this youtube video. It's funny and will help you understand subjects and verbs better.
