Yes, I made feedback into a verb form. No, it is not a word -- yet.
After vocabulary today (by the way we are nearing the end of your vernacular enrichment for this course), we spent the majority of the hour analyzing the team essays for examples, citations (Cody, our citation policeman), cohesiveness, diction (who would have thought alliterative phrasing and sybaritic lifestyles would go together?), and mechanical consistency.
With two exemplification writing samples down, we will start your exemplification essay next week. Given your list of abstract nouns, choose 5-20 that you may want to use for your own exemplification. You may want to consider which words would be most conducive for researching specific examples. On Monday, each of your will choose one word -- and each person in the class will have a different abstract noun to exemplify.
For the last 15 minutes of class, we played on the buzzers, giving you a chance to be on the Scholar Quiz team and review facts. For those of you with the background knowledge and trivia (you know who your are), you can join the Scholar Quiz team at any time during the year.
