Jimmy Bliss 3/21/17

During English class today, we were instructed to list items that are effective and items that are ineffective while writing essays. Since our better than the best draft ever were submitted last night to both google classroom and turnitin.com, it appears that we have a brief break from writing these such essays in class. Nonetheless, Our five main categories were Research, Organization, Content, Presentation and Voice & Style. We were split up into groups depending on our seating arrangements. Each group was assigned a marker and a writing space, and we were told to write what came to mind.  We, then, walked around the room and broused at what the other groups came up with. After this, we were instructed to unsubmit our better than the best draft ever and point to specific places in our essays as where we could have improved, and where we excelled. Using research, organization, context, presentation and voice & style, we were told to give an example of a piece of our essay where these terms were used, and comment. One comment was to be how I did well in this sentence, and the other comment was to be how I can improve my writing next time. When you finished your ten comments, you can resubmit your better than the best draft ever on google classroom. Students have until 11:59 PM tonight to do so.
