Make sure you record your answers on a separate piece of paper. ALL STUDENTS MUST REMAIN QUIET UNTIL ALL TESTS HAVE BEEN TURNED INTO MR. DUNLAP. DO NOT TALK WHILE STUDENTS ARE TESTING.
- If you finish the test before others you should work on any of the following (QUIETLY at your seat)
-Make sure your R#45 (example still on board) has at least 15 entries. Remember the things you record should support your thesis. The more book support you record on R#45, the better your paper will be.
-Go to the table at the front of class, and take your own copy of the Literary Analysis Guide and the two model essays on Literary Analysis (conch paper, Fitzgerald paper). Read the part about support for the Literary Anaysis paper from Topic Sentence to Clincher/Concluding Sentence. Then look at the support in the model essays. Compare the items the guide tells you belong in the support with the model essays.
4. When EVERYONE has turned in their test to Mr. Dunlap, he will handout the following:
-Peer Editing Sheet Introduction
When you get this handout, write your name where it says writer's name.
Before you exchange introductions with someone in the class, make sure you consider the following:
-that their introduction must include the name of the book and author
- it should have a linking sentence before the thesis that connects the thesis to the rest of the introduction
- that you should be honest about whether the person's intro. is engaging. If it isn't and you write that it is, you aren't helping the person.
-the background information should give enough background so that if someone hadn't read the book, they would understand it. It shouldn't throw in book terms or names without explaining who or what they are.
5) Have someone you trust fill out your editing sheet while reading your introduction. You can have more than one person fill it out, just make sure they all put their names.
6)DUE Monday: Support for Essay. See ABOVE regarding reading the Guide/Models for directions and R#45. If you do not have your support on Monday, then you will not have the advantage of someone reviewing it for you.

You can have more than one person edit your support for you. Also, have someone edit your paper for spelling, punctuation, or grammar errors. You might want to read your paper out loud to the person so you catch some of your own mistakes, and also because they may not completely understand what you are trying to write.
5) Next look at the Literary Analysis Guide handout and Model Essays. Read what you are supposed to have in the Conclusion of your Essay. Then read the model essays' conclusions. You can do this by yourself, or you can do it in your group. After reviewing the conclusion, write your conclusion on the paper provided. Due Tuesday if you don't finish in class.

PART 3- Lists returned (part 1 and 2)
Take your group list and revised if needed. Now, eliminate any thing listed that isn't realistic or revise it to something more realistic. Research each item in detail ( if applicable). For example, if your group put new computers, you must research what type of computers you will be asking for in detail. The following description was found calling a computer store for the best specifications for a computer for publication and digital image production in 2005.
3 - Pentium 4 computers, 800 FSB Systems or comparable with:3.0 Ghz, 1Gb Ram (minimum), 200 Gb HD, DVD-RW, Windows XP Professional, flat screen 19-inch monitors (minimum)
This means you will have to search the internet, call places, ask experts.
For items that describe quality or expectation from people, be specific about what you expect. Also think about potential problems with the item you are asking for and include solutions. For example:
Photographer
1) The photographer will provide student identification cards for students grades 9th through 12th personalized by student name and student number by September 1st. All IDs must be in the same format as the IDs printed on campus. Examples will be given to accommodate. Photographer will print these pictures from all student pictures taken during senior photography or underclass photography. If a student refused to take a picture or enrolls after pictures, the photographer is not liable to produce an ID for that student.
or STAFF
1) Staff members and their parents will sign a contract stating if they do not meet their deadlines, they will receive a zero on that deadline, which most likely will result in failure of the term, and potential removal from the class. Students and their parents will be expected to abide by their signed agreement.
When finished, you should have 3 categories of well-thought out, researched, and detailed expectations. This must be typed and be reviewed for mistakes or grammatical errors before turning in. Each category must have a minimum of 10 detailed expectations. Extra credit will be given to those groups that have more than 10 per category. Make sure each group member's name is on typed project, and that it has been saved to a secure location so that it can be accessed again.

- Editors must have verified all proof corrections by Tuesday for Proofs 3, by Thursday for Proofs 4- 200 points per proof editing deadline-Nicole, Louvennia, Andrew. I can't give editing grades to those who don't edit
- Don't like your grade because you didn't sell enough ads? Sell yearbooks. 1 yb sold=5 pts toward your ad grade. Give your money, order form, and receipts to Shane
- Look at money owed sheet. Don't like how much you owe? Sell ybs for ad credit. Reward sheet redistributed. (2 handouts- See Shane)
- Low grade on deadlines? Have you been filling out the spread checklist and checking it off? If not, that is probably why your grade is low. Also, you lose points major points for turning in late deadlines.

Each Editor must have verified each set of proofs by this Thursday for 200 per set editing grade. I cannot give you a grade for editing if you aren't editing.
