Wednesday is developing into in-class activity day. I really wanted to come up with a Jeopardy game for chapter 4: Unity, but I never got around to coming up with paragraphs for them to "fix" and making overheads of them. Instead I found that my book has an in-class project for this chapter so we did that. It basically consisted of three paragraphs written by a "student" which happens to have sentences in it that disrupt the unity of the essay.
So we just had a class discussion in which we talked about what lines we think should be cut. The participation was pretty good I am happy to say. After the exercise I made sure to point out to them that this is exactly what they should do with their own essays. Hopefully this will rub off on them if repeated enough times.
