Class on 10/20/11

Whole class reviewed returned homework and quizzes. Professor congratulated students for latest Lab Assignments.

Students read their introductory sentences on paragraph homework on Head Start. The teacher graphed the sentences for too general, correctly echoing the essay question, or too specific. Students then wrote paragraphs about three accomplishments over the past year. They then shared their topic sentences and those first sentences were graphed as well. Students showed improved ability to write introductory sentences that were not too specific and on topic. Students turned in homework and new paragraphs.

Homework:
Read about the themes of child hood development: at the end of chapter 2. Write a sentence (in your own words) describing one of the "big" ideas. Use a quote to indicate on other "big" idea.
