3-26 Peer Editing and Proposal

Pick one and write for 5 minutes, will call at random to be 'interviewed' in front of class.

•  If you were to come back next year, what advice would you give to an in-coming 9th grader?
• Do you feel prepared for what you plan to do next year?

Those of you who have finished cover letters will do some peer editing. Those that aren't finished will work on your own - use this form later to edit your own rough draft. Your grade is lowered a half grade for every school day it's late!

I've shared another person's cover letter with you if you're done with yours. There will be an email in your inbox.

Peer Editing Form You can read their letter online and type into the form (file, make a copy, then share form with cynthiaeduncan@gmail.com) or you can print from your computer one or both and do it by hand.



Next required piece:
Senior Exhibition Proposal: What and How; You can adapt your cover letter to explain your topic in 3-4 sentences. The more detail, the more likely they will approve it the first time!

In your notebook, or the form above (file, make a copy), write a summary of what you will present and the types(s) of visual you are thinking of using. (Not just PowerPoint - PowerPoint of what?)

By the end of tomorrow, you will send this proposal to Mrs. Brandl and me.



Extras you can submit:
The personal statement essay format is (I just found out!) flexible and they will accept a memoir or a poem instead. Whatever it is, it needs to be at least three pages double spaced, 12 pt. font to get extra credit from me.
Other extras that you can include are explained here.
