APELC Class Notes

Objectives: APELCers 1) identified and evaluated levels of critical thinking in their own writing, 2) explained the nature of speech communities and language register, and 3) practiced taxonomizing class notes.

Third juniors and seniors, you began by collecting your timed-essay from the basket and comparing your score to the Open Essay Rubric you brought to class. I walked you through the conference and revision process, and tried to your concerns especially about highlighting different levels of thinking in your own work.

We talked over the Roberts piece, and in that discussion I tried to point out the different levels of thinking students demonstrated as they shared about the text. At the end of the hour you had time to practice highlighting your notes; I’ll be collecting a round of notes next week, probably Thursday (or Friday for those of you from fourth who’re here previewing tomorrow).

Attend the homework detailed on your class page, and have a great weekend.

(UPDATED) REMINDER. Students can sign-up for revision conferences starting tomorrow at 1:00 2:00pm. I forgot to account for the Friday Pride Time Schedule.
