Tues. Sept. 19, 2017: Text Critique Intro./ "Sir Gawain Check-In

Today, I checked to see evidence of active reading while reading "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight."

I then discussed the summary the students submitted and explained that all steps having to do with layout, storage, size, format must be met and then returned them for further revision.

We then discussed how to create a text critique. I have linked this below.

Finally, I handed out the booklet to help you with citation. I have also linked this below.

If you were not here, be sure that you have the reading ("Sir Gawain and the Green Knight") read for tomorrow's class as we will be developing a text critique with it. If you don't have the reading, it is linked to yesterday's blog.
