You'll be having a notebook quiz tomorrow. It'll be over the three types of support that Sack uses in his article on cremation. You've worked with a group to identify them. We've discussed them in class. You've made a poster that includes them. I also had you write down notes today in your notebook. On top of all that, I'm telling you now that you will be quizzed on the topic tomorrow. I do believe you should be able to identify the three types of support fairly easily. Good luck.
Had a good conversation in period four today about the ways personal stories are used in nonfiction articles. We also discussed the trouble with statistics. Remember yesterday's posting on the trouble with statistics? We were about to delve into the reasons we need to be cautious about "expert" interviews. Time ran out but we will get back to that first thing tomorrow.
We have a few final things to do with our cremation article tomorrow, and then we will move on to a couple articles that deal with hunger, food stamps, and Elmo. How do these connect? You'll have to read the articles tomorrow and find out.
Identifying the main idea of an article proved more difficult than expected. You can bet we will be spending a bit of time on that tomorrow with regard to those two new articles. We will also be reading them with an eye on the support that is offered.
We'll close tomorrow with an exit task. It'll be a precise/concise sentence. Are you ready?
See you tomorrow.
