Homework: Due 2/3

As your "ticket" to conference with me about your first draft tomorrow, you must do these things:
  1. Read your paper OUT LOUD. This may be to yourself, to an older sibling, or to a parent. Doing this will help you identify repeated words, clunky language, or awkward spots that may be unclear. After you do this, make a few changes based on what you've learned through the process.
  2. Identify THREE AREAS that you'd like to me to focus on as I read your paper. 
You must do these before I will conference with you. Tomorrow we will be working on revisions to your draft in class, so bring your paper to work on while I'm conferencing with your classmates.

Thought for the day:
Have you ever wondered why popcorn is so expensive at the movies? Check out the reason why your Mike and Ikes are $9, plus eight other "American rip-offs" (text messages are marked up 6,500%!).-Mrs. Kristoff
