En 12: Notes from Wed, 12 Jan

Today we practiced doing self and peer assessment using the synthesis paragraph that we wrote on "Transients" and "Lotus Land."  We also had a discussion on assessment as it has evolved in our class and how it has or has not helped us to improve our writing (or what is expected in order to do well and how improvement is affected by rubrics with clear criteria).  Tomorrow, I will read "The Return" to you and we will have a short discussion before I set you to independent work on "Touching Bottom" (no smirking, please).  I'd like you to prepare notes and quotations for Question 2 (on p. 133) in preparation for Friday's class (which will be a five-block day to accomodate a guest speaker in second block).

Also - what's with the colour yellow in this story?
