Grammar–Adjectives
FINAL of your critique. Remember, this should be portfolio worthy–worth 50 pts. If you want a rubric, email me. Otherwise, it will look much the same as the ones I used in the portfolio. You need 4 dressups/openers. Make sure it is typed/proofed/ and ready to turn in! This is to show me what a great writer you are–a FINAL paper for the end of the year!!
**A few of you are redoing persuasive essays/RRJ’s. Please have those done by Tuesday or they will become zeros**
Bring info. for your author bio. next week. That is next on our “to do” list.

Rough draft–Critique–Make sure it is typed, dressups/openers marked, etc. This should be well-written, easy for someone else to edit.
Bring supplies to work on your display. (rubber cement glue, paper, fun scissors, etc.) Also, bring stencils or print out font in a large size to make your title. 300 pt. or bigger seems about right. Play around with the size.
**Surprise**Bring a little something special for your display–ie. glitter, tree branches, clip art, etc. Show me at some point during class and I’ll give you a surprise. Shh!!
