Week 6

2. English 10 DO NOW 9/11/13
Let’s see what you remember about MLA format for essays. What are the margins lengths suppose to be? Font size/type? What information goes on the first page/where? What does in the header for each page?
Then write me a few sentences explaining why you were able or not able to complete the assignments the last two days.

3. Eng 10 DO NOW: 9/12/13
Make an agenda for yourself. Today and tomorrow are work days. List the things you need to do in order of importance:
Edmodo assignment: format a new word doc
Noredink.com assignment (quiz if you failed Friday’s quiz)
Short story topic

Billy Bob does not have internet at home, so Billy Bob know he must use classtime for that work:
Agenda:
Thursday
In class: Edmodo. At least get signed up with noredink.com
At home: write out three possible story topics
Friday:

Looking at your agenda from yesterday’s DO NOW, respond in complete sentences:
Did you meet your goals for yesterday? If not, why? If so, did having the agenda help? If you were here, but didn’t make an agenda, are you also failing this class? (I bet there is a correlation here)
