1. Identify and answer the questions posed for the Frontline World assignment re: Muhammad Yunus. Use the article from Ode magazine to find the answers.
2. Grammar Exam 1. We corrected GE1. Students are to write an essay evaluating the exam (in third person) and advise the writer how to proceed in his or her studies based on the score.
We divided the exam into sections giving each a score of how many correct out of the total possible correct. Students then gave a grand total of how many correct out of 50 possible.
The essay is due attached to the exam in the morning. Print a copy for me.
3. Three part Thesis (handout)
For the Social entrepreneur essay assignment students are to use this type of thesis sentence. We practiced using Muhammad Yunus as an example. On the back of the sheet is an outline. Use this for the outline of your essay. We will practice in class tomorrow.
Bring in the SV AGR essay from Pidd tomorrow, printed out. We will review it and take Grammar Exam 2. We will also talk about the evaluative Pidd essay for the semester.
4. Some students asked about the Book Report Essay. This essay is optional, however, if there is a book written about your SE and you would like to write a separate essay about the book let me know. This essay is not a summary of the book. Students need to have a thesis, so check-in with me before writing it.
5. For students who did not complete Grammar Exam 1, you cannot write the essay. If you were not here today, you cannot write the essay tonight. I did correct the essays of students who were not here.
