Today was the beginning of presentations for all my English classes. The groups of students in each class performed as I thought they would. My blended class had stellar presentations, and they were all on time. My second period class had the most late presentations and probably did the poorest of all my classes, which I expected. This class just doesn't have much pride in their work or work effort. My last period class actually surprised me and did a nice job with their presentations and had minimal who were late.
In creative writing students had a writing day to finish their short stories. In the future, I will do this part of the class differently and have more writer's workshop type sharing and reading of the stories, no matter how much objection I get from the students. I think it will make for better stories and peer review. I have read parts of all of the students stories, and while some are stellar, others are way off point. I conference with the ones struggling today and hope they rectify their wrongs. The deadline is 3:00 p.m. Monday, and any edits made after that will result in a 10% deduction for being late.
