First period dove back into the writing focus workshops. We had a mini-lesson — which, it turned out, was hardly “mini” — about setting goals for writing. As part of the weekly self-assessment, students are to set individual goals for their writing. As time progresses, that will come with input from me. For now, we’re practicing setting goals.

Second and sixth periods went over a number of things today. We did our participation self-assessment. We generally do this online, but since tomorrow we’ll be taking the test online, I wanted to make sure students didn’t have to rush to get to the participation self-assessment.

We also went over the letters we wrote before the long break. Several students, I noticed, had some trouble with address formatting, so we spent the last fifteen minutes of class clearing up any confusion with that.

Fourth period went over Romeo and Juliet 1.5 in which Romeo and Juliet finally meet for the first time and realize who they’ve fallen in love with.

Homework

• All classes: study for exam tomorrow.
• Fourth period: complete paraphrase of Romeo’s words (due Thursday)
