We've read to the end of Romeo and Juliet. REMINDER, there will be a test on the play during Friday's class.
Last Thursday we spent some more time working through the final exam: specifically, we examined the Original Composition section of the test. Students read authentic samples of student compositions and assigned them grades. Most students now know that, on that section of the exam, they can write almost any type of writing (a story, an essay, a literary essay, a personal essay. . . ). In addition, we noted how, on that last piece of writing, the topic needs to only be subtly addressed (i.e. the topic does not need to be repeated word for word).
