The Phrase; Submitting Peer Reviews

The first thing students did today, upon their return to our frosty school building, was to take their first grammatical notes on our new unit: The Phrase.

Here is a link to the EOL Notes Sheet as a .docx

And here is a link to a .pdf of the same

The notes begin on page 144 of our purple Grammar Text.

After this, students and I capitalized on a leftover laptop lab. I enjoined students to finish, and submit, their TNReady Prompt 1 peer reviews.

The guidelines for conducting a Peer Review are on a post below this one. But, to quickly overview:

• Your partner shares their draft with you (blue "Share+" button on Word Online)
• You provide feedback and tentative scoring in either, or both, of the following ways:
• Using the "Insert" tab, click "Comments". You can use the "+" to add comments that will appear in the margin.
• Click on "Edit Document". You can now type directly into your classmates' paper. If providing direct commentary in this manner, please use a new color of font. Or an entirely different font than the one the original author used.
• When you're done making suggestions and recommendations (the peer-editing job), YOU the peer-reviewer, Share+ YOUR CLASSMATE'S paper with YOUR COMMENTARY to ME.
• My address is: Jesse.Tidyman@mnps.org
• And if you don't know it by this point of the year, you're frankly beyond my help.

HW:
