Sonnet Essay Workshop: October 28, 2019

Focus: How can the process of peer workshopping help us improve our sonnet essays?

1. Warming up with three good things

2. Filling out the top of your Peer Workshop sheet by considering what aspect of your sonnet essay you'd like the most help with.

3. Exchanging essays (follow the three-step directions on your sheet) and workshopping them

• Note: I strongly suggest exchanging your essay with someone who is analyzing your same sonnet.

4. Wrapping up with a five-minute out-loud conference with your partner

HW: FOLLOW THE SCHEDULE EVEN IF WE HAVE SNOW DELAYS.

1. For TUESDAY, Oct 29: Read Chapters 35 through 40 and prepare your Socratic ticket (we'll be back on the regular ticket schedule for the last two weeks of East of Eden).

You will have a window for submitting your final draft: Oct 30-Nov 4 by 4:00 pm. They will be graded in the order that they are turned in.

2. For FRIDAY, Nov 1: Read Chapters 40 through 44 and prepare your Socratic ticket.
