Freshmen: Today we concluded Step Four and began Step Five of our Seven Step Essay Process. Your task today was to order your information and then write your essay. The requirements for your essay are as follows: Use a lead and conclusion technique we studied; have a clear thesis; arrange your information in a clear and logical way that proves your thesis; use the three techniques covered in the first three chapters of They Say I Say - respond to what others say about your topic, summarize someone's position from your research on your topic, and cite from your research at least three times using templates from They Say I Say; and, lastly, format correctly. You should take your handwritten essay and type it up and bring it to class on Thursday. Read for 20 minutes the next two nights and remember Chapter 3 Vocab is due on Friday.
Sophomores: Today we continued our exercise in close reading and the method of observe-induce-thesis by viewing part of Cry, the Beloved Country. The idea is to build some background for the people, place, and time period of The Power of One. You should finish Chapters 6-9 for next Monday and remember Chapter 3 Vocab is due on Friday.
CNF: Today we had a seminar and began Chapter 6 and the Conclusion of Blink.
