Then we Peer Reviewed our Resumes.

Next B2 we weren't able to get the writing lab today, but we'll be there on Friday, so we talked about How-To Writing. We talked about Active and Passive Voice, 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. Your How-To Draft is due IN CLASS on Friday!

B3 and B4 had the rest of the period to type our PowerPoint Presentations, Newspaper articles, and Resumes. We will have one more day in the writing lab, so if you need more time you'll have to get there on your own!

For Friday:
1. B2--Draft of How-To Article
2. Outside Reading Book
3. Work on your Your Choice Genres!
