After writing down the new vocabulary words (we only have 2 rounds left for the class), you received the assignment for the exemplification essay, which will involve an abstract noun, your interpretation of the meaning, and a plethora of examples from multiple genres. While the minimum for this essay is 3 examples, it would behoove your work and maturity of understanding to do more -- including one in the hook to provide the direction of your essay.
At this point, you have chosen your abstract noun and have begun the process of researching and prewriting. We will have all class on Tuesday to work on preparations for this essay. I am still working on the exact schedule for the remainder of the week, but it looks like the first draft for this essay will be due on Monday, March 6, for peer review. Stay tuned for the final dates. We will finish the exemplification essay prior to Spring Break.
As for the grammar angle, you have completed the first part of the review in which you tested your knowledge and determined the areas for future study. Review number two will arrive at the end of the hour on Tuesday, which you will complete for homework.
