4-6-09: How-To Writing (A Days)

Today we started off with our Punctual Piece. A1 and A2 we talked about Active and Passive Voice, and completed some practice with Active and Passive Voice. In A3 we completed two rationale sheets for the PowerPoint Presentation and the Newspaper Article.

In A1 and A2 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 Wednesday!

Then in A3 we finished drafting our How-To articles and completed Peer Reviewed our How-To Articles, so if you missed class you'll have to make this up with someone in our class.


For Tuesday:
1. Get all drafts ready to type!
2. Work on your Your-Choice Genres
