Objective: I can develop and strengthen writing by planning, editing, and/or trying a new approach focusing on "work-ons" from previous writings (RL 4). 
Agenda:

• Entry Task:  Sit with your writing group (may be revised for Sem. 2--should be same color)
  • Review your group goals on your folder; put a check next to those you ALL feel you have accomplished in the last semester
  • Take out ALL of your papers from your folder (except the stapled-in progress chart and essay graphic); make sure your progress chart is fully completed including up to the question about the trigger phrases on the back
  • Find the notes you have made yourself as we have gone.
    • Stack your essays in the order we completed them as you go
    • Make sure there are no other papers in your writing folder, organize your My Essential Lits. into the provided envelope and keep them in your daily notebook.  
      
  • When you get to your Romanticism essay, chart your progress and answer through How can I help you? On the back.
  • With cruelty on the bottom and Romanticism on the top, staple two times along the top, covering the essay graphic so that you might still use it when necessary during writing
    • Review your notes. Cross off any items you know you have accomplished.  Highlight those that you are going to focus on as you write your next essay on our most recent reads.  
  • Read the Middlemarch prompt.  What connections do you  make between this and the readings we have been doing.
  • Read the example essays and the reasoning for their score.  What did the high-scoring writer do differently than the other two?  
• Exit Task:  Know your strengths--even if you do not see a steady progression from one essay to the next, you probably notice that you are more successful with one type of essay than another.  Remember that you will write all three if you choose to take the AP test--would you complete your strength first or save it for last?  Why?  ​​
