English 10 Honors (Period 3): 12.11 - Quote Integration and Compound Sentences

I was not in class today as I was at Bates attending a writing conference with students. In class, there was a substitute and students were working on quote integration using a sample response from The Road. People worked with one or two other people to use information from yesterday's presentation on quote integration to more successfully integrate quotes into several sentences. I provided students with a quote and several sentences from one of the motif responses from The Road and it was their job to integrate that quote into the sentences so that the writing flowed better (see handouts below).

Next, everyone completed the compound sentences sheet that we have been working with. People then had the remaining time in class to work on their reading in The Road and to complete revisions (see due dates below).
