Driving Question: How do I demonstrate that I am open-minded enough to learn from my experiences?
Subject: English 11 British Literature Prepared By: Desiree’ Fuller

This week we will focus on peer editing techniques. On Monday the students will submit their research papers that were assigned four weeks ago. In class, students will work in papers to edit the work of their peer. This will help strengthen their skills for the ACT English Test.
