Write your own sentence, using context clues for each of the words. Have a peer review. Ms. Batten comes to verify peers have reviewed the word accurately. Remember a circle around their name means they aren't taking the time to give you proper feedback or they don't know how to use the words. Don't keep using someone whose name is continually circled for reviews.
Presentations (Continue Evaluations-Remember to submit Evaluations at the end of each class day)
Personal Reflection-Each group/presenter will be submitting a personal reflection after presentations. They will receive a list of comments from classmates and their grade from the teacher and will evaluate themselves on logos, pathos, ethos and speak of any changes they would make if presenting in the future.

Students reminded that if absent for a presentation or here but not prepared, that 25 points is deducted from the possible grade, meaning the highest grade to receive would be a C. Also student told to make sure they have their presentation ready, so that when I have time in class to fit in late presentations, they are prepared. They should bring their project to me at the beginning of class, and be the first one with their hand up when I ask who wants to present today.
