Bell-ringer and Agenda

Good morning! I apologize for not being there this morning. This figurative language will describe how I am feeling:  My head feels like a clown car with twelve too many creepy clowns stuffed in it. Simile or metaphor?

Regardless of who the sub is, you have work to get done, so do not spend time fooling around today. By the end of the day, you will need to have submitted your narrative essay into WV Writes. Make sure when you have submitted it for the last time, you click finish. I will know who has submitted the essay and who has not at the end of the day. Technology allows me to check that at home. I will take note of who did not finish--there will be no late grades.

Directions:
1.) Bell-ringer: If you knew this was your last day to be in Parkersburg ever, what would you do? Describe this day with great detail in a paragraph no shorter than five sentences.

2.) When you are done with the bell-ringer, finish your four-square, rough draft, and type your final draft into WV Writes.

3.) You substitute should be passing out a checklist to each student. If he/she does not, it is in the top right-hand drawer of my desk (make sure you have this; it is a grade). You need to switch computers with someone close by and have him/her read your essay and you read his/hers. Fill out the checklist on the other person's essay. Make suggestions to improve the narrative.

4.) When you are finished with the narrative essay and you have a holistic score of at least 4, then you may click finish after it is scored.

5.) When you are completely finished and have submitted your essay, you may work on any other school related assignment.

I will be collecting your pre-write, organization, rough draft, and checklist on Tuesday (no school Monday). Do not lose these items as they will be graded--there will be no late grades.
