03.17 - Revisions, Essay, Illustration

At the beginning of class today, I handed out grade report sheets for the third quarter while several people helped me to return work that was turned in last week. Everyone then had half an hour to complete and revise assignments. I was on hand to answer questions and work individually with people during this time.

Next, we took a look at the creation story essay that we previewed last Wednesday. We specifically looked at the set up (700 words, four paragraphs or more) and various ways to structure the essay. We then looked at the creation story illustration assignment. The guidelines for this assignment are as follows:

1 - Illustrate a moment or idea from one of the creation stories that depicts one of the essential moments or ideas from that story.
2 - Include with your illustration a quote (a sentence or phrase) that adds to the meaning of the illustration.

Everyone then had the remaining time to work on their essay or illustration.
