Today in English class we continued working on our "Letters About Literature" writing project. Class started off as it always does with journal writing. Today's writing prompt was "what's your favorite movie? And favorite scene in it?" Among the top were as always, The Hunger Games, and a less expected Micky Mouse. Anyways, soon after that we were given a rubric for our letter project. The rubric consisted of all the due dates we would need for the project. Every time a student does what she/he was told on time, points will be added. The 1st thing was the prewriting assignment. Teachers went around and gave points to those who had finished it. Thankfully they were forgiving for the ones who didn't (myself included).
Next, we went through class exercises that helped us get us ready for our 1st draft due tomorrow. We also went through examples past contest winner's. Then given a paper on the format our letters should be in. We were then given a meager amount of time to work on our 1st drafts.
In other more enthusiastic news the JH boy's wrestling team have their kick off to the season meet @ Plainview with Neligh. While the girl's basketball team is @ West Holt. Their kick off game being just this past Tuesday @ Ewing.
Go Eagles!
