Today, I gave students the information regarding their choices for their final independent novel study assignments. If a student wasn't here, it is in the student's portfolio. We determined that the deadline for the independent novel studies and any other work will be Wednesday, June 8.
I then gave them the first assignment relating to the novel study, which is a pre-reading activity. I have attached it below. Students are to do this activity for Monday, February 8. Failure to complete this will result in an NHI as it is a pre-reading activity and we will start reading on Monday.
INS Pre-Reading Activity
I then gave the students a handout entitled "MLA Citation" booklet. If a student was not here, these are in front of the student portfolios (some have these from last semester). We went through it as a class, discussing what plagiarism is and how to avoid it, as well as how to layout the first page of an essay and where to find the computer usage steps to do this accurately.
Finally, I gave the students each a text to actively read, summarize and do a citation on. This is due at the start of class tomorrow.
