Class Minutes, Monday Jan. 11th

I keep forgetting to assign students the minutes. Sorry. Today we had a bit of housekeeping to do. I started the second round of portfolio interviews, checked the "broken promises" journal, assigned the "work in progress" journal, collected the "This I Believe" essays. Finally, I handed out some notes called, Writing for Magazines. Then, we discussed query letters: their purpose and form. Students started writing a query while I conducted the 1:1 interviews.
