- During the term,
you will write compositions on topics I give you in class.
- You will use
several ways of revising compositions.
- You will use
checklists to review your own compositions.
- Other students
will read your compositions, make comments, and ask questions.
- The teacher will
make suggestions, ask questions, and mark mistakes in your compositions.
- You will revise
your compositions based on classmates' suggestions, the teacher's
suggestions, and your own ideas.
- During the term
I will mark mistakes, but will not
grade your compositions (i.e., put A, B, C, D, etc. on them).
- You will keep
all of your compositions you write. Together with your journal they
make up your portfolio. Keep them in an envelope, folder, clear pocket
file, or on disk.
- At the end of
the year you will choose your 2 best compositions to give to me. I
will put a grade -- A, B, C, etc. on them.
- These essays
will be 30% of your mark each term, so be very
careful not to lose them.
