Day 56- "And so it beings." Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves

Today began the start of our second papers for English 12. I am giving them two class days to work on this one because it is fairly difficult, and I want to be able to work with them and assist them as much as possible. I gave them a small handout on the paper requirements, as well as a copy of the rubric. I also reminded them if they needed a refresher on in-text citations or MLA formatting, that those lessons were on the My Big Campus website and they could also come see me during iPass. Many of the students began working right away, especially at trying to remember (or for many of them, for the first time) formatting their papers in MLA format. Quite a few asked for assistance, but they mainly just needed reassurance as their writing was fairly solid for an initial draft. I'm looking forward to reading these papers in about a week and seeing how their writing has improved over the last month or so.
