Freshmen: Today we learned how to cite sources effectively, and continued to work on our argument essays. Today you did step 3, focusing your data, and put your argument into a concise thesis statement. We then moved on to steps 4 and 5 - crafting a lead and drafting your essay. A typed version of your essay is due Thursday, and you must include both forms of citation that we covered in class.
Thursday and Friday will be spent doing Poetry Out Loud poem recitals.
We also did a triangulated assessment of your cause and effect essays - self assessment, peer assessment, and teacher assessment.
If you were absent, read the essays "Don't Eat the Flan" and "Supersize Me" in Models for Writers.
Sophomores: Antigone was due today, and we continued focusing on the four stages of the hero. Thursday and Friday we will work on Poetry Out Loud and recite your poems.
