Feedback on Theme Cards

After a devotional reading of Proverbs 21: 2 and prayer, two students who had missed the last graded academic discussion over Grace Ogot's "The Rain Came" spoke.

Mr. Stone returned the other students'  first graded theme cards and gave opportunity for questions.  Students have the opportunity to revise their first theme cards and resubmit them for an improved score.

Mr. Stone then distributed a revised grading rubric for the students and went over the changes that had been made in response to their writing on their first theme cards.  In order to allow students to improve their writing skills in response to the feedback and to utilize the revised grading rubric, Mr. Stone announced he was postponing the discussion of Desmond Tutu's No Furture Without Forgiveness and Chinua Achebe's "The Visitor" to the next period.

Students took a quiz over Achebe's "The Visitor at the end of the period.

Homework:  Make any needed revisions to the first and second theme cards.
