English EE is an introductory class to introduce some important standards that will be revisited in later units. As well, English EE contains an introductory unit for work in both English and History curriculum. The purpose of this stand alone unit is to prepare students for responding to Moodle courses that require written responses. Both Miss Erwin and Mr. Connors have seen some repeated issues in student writing that need to be addressed.
Students may have this unit included in their first English or History class, or this unit may be added to students whose work is showing a need for revisiting this information. Your instructor may use this unit as an additional one to your work (added to a unit for quarter credit) or use some of these assignments to replace assignments in a history or English class.
The assignments include review in:
a) accurate reading and responding to assignments (reading the directions carefully and "doing it right the first time")
b) paraphrasing and summarizing information (without plagiarizing)
c) directly quoting information from a source
d) reviewing capitalization and punctuation rules
e) avoiding fragments and run on sentences
f) doing a final revision
