Mrs. McNamara had a pattern of ____ that she repeated again and again. We would have a literature reading task for ____.The next day，when we came to class，there would be two or three topics on the blackboard ___ to the homework reading. We were ____ to write an inclass essay about one of the topics. The following day，she would ____ the corrected and graded essays and each person would be called ____ to stand in front of the class and to ____ his/her essay. The class were required to criticize (评论) that essay，____the grade of everyone in class would be reduced.
The first time that I ____ her readwritecriticize method，I had not ____ to do the homework and had written something without knowing what it meant.____ the extreme embarrassment I suffered，standing before my classmates，____myself. No one laughed at me；no one would be ____ enough，or foolish enough，to do that in Mrs.McNamara's class. The embarrassment came from ____ and along with it came a strong ____ not to let it happen again.
Mrs. McNamara kept all of our written work in files；it was easy to see the ____ in writing that had occurred.
