Today in Class . . .

10/25/2013:

Today students did the following in Honors English:

•  took the Roman Literature Quiz. 
• examined an "A" Odyssey essay to determine how to improve for next time

Here is a link to my word doc regarding the scoring of the Odyssey essays, the primary focus on students' analysis skills. In a previous Power Point, the requirements for the essay were addressed specifically;  students may go back to the older post to locate that Power Point for questions that may not be answered through today's information or by looking at the information provided on the link below.
