This weekend, as I read and reflected on your essays, I felt that this set of essays produced some of your best work so far. In particular, I noticed that the quality of student analysis is improving-- many more essays explored the issues thoughtfully and in depth, revealing greater complexity of thought. Many students used quotes from the texts and analyzed those quotes carefully, using real-life observations, examples and reflections to enrich their analysis.
A major problem I noticed for both third and fourth period, however, was that some students failed to complete their essays in the time provided. I know one class period is not an enormous amount of time-- please budget your time wisely. You will have the opportunity to revise your work if you so desire, however. Incomplete essays can be completed during the revision process. You will receive the highest mark.
I'd like you to be able to read some of the other essays students have written. So that you can share in the work of your classmates, we will be posting our revised essays on your individual blogs as a post. That way, you will be able to link to fellow student's blogs, and read and comment on their essays. I will post a few highlights from some of the essays here later, as well, for you to comment upon.
I agree with you, I think we need to be more efficient in the time given us, especially me.
