· Mrs. Gill started class with a prayer, like always
· She addressed the class that our Journals were going to be handed in on Tuesday
· Marc interrupted her asking for sticky note
· She gladly gave him a pink one
· Journal: Dear Mrs. Gill (reflection on what we have done and our reaction journaling and telling her whatever else we wanted)
· Song: by Avenged Sevenfold—Dear God
· Mrs. Gill said no one is going to read their journal today
· Mrs. Gill started talking about SLU 1818 registration and that we have to have higher than a 3.0 gpa
· Then she talked about how SLU doesn’t talk to our parents because they don’t exist.
· Mrs. Gill then put us in our editing groups for our Literacy Memoir
· Before we got into our editing groups, Mrs. Gill pulled up scribe notes and Abby read her scribe notes
· Then we talked about Frankie’s “cool superpower” Mrs. Gill asked if anyone thought Frankie’s power was cool and Max raised his hand in agreement
· Mrs. Gill corrected Abby’s spelling the word “literacy”
· Mrs. Gill pulled up the directions for peer editing because she doesn’t like the way people usually edit, which is reading the paper and saying all it is correct.
o Read the paper
o Find the strength and weaknesses of the paper
o Identify errors which she called heinous (which is strikingly bad)
o Want to ask ourselves if it is a good sentence—Mrs. Gill said short sentences can be good
· Read the paper one more time—her code is circle things that you hate and underline the cool words—for our education
· We are responsible for our editing
· Then Mrs. Gill dismissed Hannah to fix her problem
· We all worked on editing each other’s papers
· Class was dismissed even though Mrs. Gill thought we still had four minutes left (She is still getting used to the schedule)
