Presentation transcript:

Friday – September 27, 2013 Mr. Lombardi Do Now: Answer the following in your notebook: 1.Why is it necessary to proofread all work before handing it in? 2.What are some other ways (in addition to proofreading) that you can score higher on an essay? Aim: How can we improve as essay writers?

Common Essay Errors 1.Too brief; Not enough development; needs more examples/details. 2.“In this essay ….” – Don’t use! 3.“In conclusion, ……” – Don’t use! 4.Don’t use “I” in an essay. 5.Stick to the Task. 6.Write on the back of your loose leaf paper! 7.ANALYZE more than you DESCRIBE. 8.USE YOUR OUTLINE!

Essays: “Peer Reviewing” You were given an essay which is not your own. Complete the entire Peer Editing handout based on the essay you were given. You are to read/evaluate the essay you were given and score it according to the grading rubric (0-5). Be as honest as you can (if you do not give a serious score, your own score will be deducted the difference of points). Write at least five comments (on the handout) for the essay based on the rubric (ex: needs more development, more descriptive than analytical, etc.)

Thematic Essays: “Peer Reviewing” Activity 2 Switch essays with someone sitting near you. Do the same process as before for the “new” essay you received (on a separate sheet of paper).

Summary 1.How can we become better essay writers? – Include as many different techniques/tips as possible in your answer! 2.How can “peer revisions” improve essay writing skills?
