Today, we marked questions 22 to 33 in our commas booklet (the second page). I then returned the booklet to you to make sure that you are following the rules correctly and to review page three for marking tomorrow. We then discussed group work, focusing on whether we like it (most did) and what problems there are when it is being done. The top three problems are working with people you don't like, off-task behaviour, and one person doing most of the work. In order to try to solve this, I had you choose a partner to work with tomorrow and put the names in the marking box. I then had you work independently answer (long form) questions on the poem "Billy Paris". These are due tomorrow.
