ENGLISH - 1^st trimester – Day 51 

If you haven’t already, turn in classwork from yesterday (“Thank You, M’am” questions and drawings) 

Put the 5 steps on the writing process in order…then write down the difference between revising and editing.

• Drafting
• Editing
• Revising
• Prewriting
• Publishing

Why don’t writers always write chronologically? For each of the 5 organizational methods listed below, tell when you think a writer would choose it when writing an essay? In other words, what might the writer be writing about?

1. Chronological order
2. Spatial order (“space”)
3. Cause and effect
4. Comparison/Contrast
5. Order of importance   

·         Who vs. whom – TAKE NOTES

o   TRICK: substitute “him” for “whom” and “he” for “who”

§  (watch video)

·         Take POST test (1^st hour only) 

·         (Hours 3, 4, 5) Reviewed concepts to be covered on exam…get notes from a classmate if you were absent

·         Begin Practice Exam (and Study Guide - if time) 

ENGLISH homework: 

·         If you will NOT be here tomorrow, read “The Necklace” from Literature book pages 348 – 358 

·         Use study guide to review for exam. 

·         REMINDER: Turn in English books on exam day (if you do not have English Tri 2)
