Session #3

November 2, 2011

1.  Today was the third session of the Writers Club.  Seven of eight students were present and five of the seven came prepared with their Writers Club Notebooks.  Two students have materials which need to be added to their notebooks this week.

We were still working when the next class arrived at the Computer Lab, so the students did not have time to write down what we worked on and what their homework is for next week. 

2.  Today's activities:

·     Discussed the  pre-writing web for letter writing

·         Started the draft of letter to SFC Shane Dickey

·         Worked on sentence expansion words

·         Previewed a block style format for letter writing

·         Reviewed selecting key words and writing a topic sentence

3.  Homework:  (Due Wednesday, November 9, 2011)

Be able to correctly write full name and address. 

4.  Please be sure to talk with your student about sentence expanders and how they can be used to make short sentences longer!
