Hey North House! This is Darlene Dela Rosa and I am the
blogger for this week. Here’s what the schedule looked like today, Sept. 17.

Workshop
POL Rehearsal
We were given 15 minutes to practice our poems with a
partner. We were told to tell our partners if they have spinach in their teeth.
What I mean by that is basically laying out the truth with their performance.
If it was perfect then we were allowed to say so. If it wasn’t, then we had to
tell them what they needed to work on. Whether it was their voice and articulation
or dramatic appropriateness, we had to be blunt. This exercise was designed to
help your partner improve their grade tomorrow.
Workshop
At 8:45, we began our timed writing/writing workshop. We
were given 30 minutes to write a personal narrative based on a topic of our
choice. We wrote our piece in our composition books as A#10 Writing
Workshop.
After our time was up, Austin was chosen to get feedback
from the class regarding her essay. This feedback was also logged in our
composition books as A#11 Writing Feedback. Some feedback the class came
up with include:
·
Bobbie said that the rhetorical questions and
sarcasm added character to her essay.
·
Emma said that variation of sentence length
lacked and would enhance her essay. She also said that she had a good usage of
vocabulary. There were big words in the essay, but the message that Austin was
trying to convey came across without confusing her readers.
·
Mrs. Ortega described that Austin’s voice was
very evident in her essay. In other words, her essay had voice.
REMINDER: Tomorrow is the official Poetry Out Loud
recitation, which will be held during 2nd block in Ortega’s room.
“Fire and Ice” is strictly prohibited if you haven’t caught that already. Make sure to bring a printed copy of
your chosen poem to receive full credit tomorrow. This will make it easier to
check your accuracy, which counts for 8 points of your overall Poetry Out Loud
grade.
