Classwork for October 26th, 2017- Liam Cooke
Today in Class Mr.Rivers Asked the class if we had any last minute questions about the summer reading essay due October 26th at 11:59pm. This question lead to many others that Mr. Rivers answered in the flowing. Even if the statement you are writing about your book or movie is not word for word you still need to add a situation at the end of the sentence that is italicized, and a summary is not necessary to write, do not explain other details that the reader doesn't need to know, pretend like your audience has a background knowledge of the book and film. Any excessive explaining will take away form the feel of your essay. You do not need to cite any page that you are just getting actors names from, your only citations should be your book, and film. When punctuating in a quote, if the punctuation is necessary to add an effect to it put it in such ans ? or ! if it is not necessary don't put it in. After the class was finished with the questions Mr. Rivers went on to what we were to do in class. Today we had three choices for independent work. The first was to work on the essay due October 26th at 11:59pm and add some last touches to it if needed. The second was to listen to the Key and Peele interview of Get Out due tomorrow on the 27th. And last we were to read the book Ready Player One pg. 27-77 and give an analysis of what you read, this is due next week.
To connect this lesson to other situations the outlining meaning to this is that when writing an essay it is important to use all the essential steps for being inside your format, In this situation we use the MLA format and it is important to fallow all the steps to make your work easy to understand.

This serves as an excellent record of our learning on the 26th! Clear and helpful for anyone who might have been absent on this day. Your extension is getting you there, but remember that your extension should be 50% of your blog. It’s tough on days when your work is largely independent, but consider a specific time/place when that skill would become helpful. Use that extension as a means to validate our experiences in the classroom.
