4-3-09: Writing Lab (B2) and How-To Writing (B3 and B4)

Today we started off with our Punctual Piece. B2 we completed two rationale sheets. B3 and B4 we talked about Active and Passive Voice, and completed some practice with Active and Passive Voice.

Then in B2 we Peer Reviewed our How-To Articles, so if you missed class you'll have to make this up with someone in our class. Then we went to the Writing Lab for the rest of the period where you had time to finish your PowerPoint presentations, type up your News Articles, Resumes, and How-To Articles. Get those finished this weekend!

In B3 and B4 we talked about why Active and Passive Voice are important in How-To Writing. Then we talked through the How-To Assignment Sheet; and you were given the rest of the period to complete the How-To Planning Sheet and begin drafting your How-To Article. Your How-To Draft is due IN CLASS on Tuesday!

For Tuesday:
1. Finish typing Newspaper Article and Resume
2. Work on your Your-Choice Genres
