Notes from this week

The Art Analysis Essay is due tomorrow, Friday, 12/11. Remember these things:

• Type it.
• Put it in a folder.
• Include an image(s) -- color, if relevant -- of what you analyze.
• Show your process by including any/all of the following in your folder: early drafts, listing/exploratory writing/outlining, feedback.

The grading form that I will use is on p. 136 of the course reader. The essay is due at the beginning of class. Essays that come in after 8:40 am are late and will get a reduced grade.

Tomorrow, we will practice for the final presentation. Bring an outline of you final presentation and/or other things you will need to practice. I'll bring some note cards if you want use the time to make notecards for presenting. (Remember - NO READING for the final presentation.)

12/9 - Final Exam and proofreading practice

As a reminder about WEDNESDAY's (tomorrow's) class this week:

1) First, you will take the final exam. Many of the questions will be similar to the practice final exam. There will also be a short reading comprehension part, and you will be asked to write a paragraph analyzing an artwork for composition, color or pattern/rhythm. The final exam will be first. You should arrive on time at 8:30 am so that you'll have the full time to finish. If you miss or are late, you will need a doctor's note to schedule another time to take the test.

2) Next, we will do some proofreading practice in the last hour. Bring your current draft of the final essay to class to proofread. Otherwise, I will give you other writing to practice with.

Bring grammar book and presentation materials to class on Monday.

Tomorrow, the first two hours of class will be reviewing grammar for the final exam, so bring your grammar books to class.

In the lab you will either practice and prepare your presentations or practice grammar using the program that goes with our grammar book. To practice your presentations, bring whatever you have prepared so far for your presentations--such as scripts, power points, images, movie clips.

Also during lab, you can come talk to me about your presentations or anything else you'd like help with.

Shalle's homework and writing conferences

Homework for tomorrow:

1) Study for the practice final exam. There will focus on the grammar points we covered in class so you could review the verb tenses, modals and conditionals in the book. You could also review sentence structure from class and reader.

2) Complete sections 5 and 6, p. 344-345 in FOG (Present and Future Unreal Conditionals)

3)I've made time to have writing conferences with each student about the Art Analysis Essay. This is optional (not required). I sent the schedule to you. You can sign up for a time in class tomorrow. First priority for Friday will go to students who don't have a thesis statement yet. We'll talk in class tomorrow.
