The day is upon us. The nonfiction paper is due. I've assessed a dozen or so early submissions and am pleased with the direction they have taken. For the rest of you, be sure you have the following taken care of.
Typed
Double spaced
Proper heading
Creative title
Engaging lead
Title and author of your nonfiction book mentioned in the first paragraph
Strong clear one sentence claim
Topic sentences
Thoroughly developed ideas
Supported thoroughly developed ideas
Properly cited support
Closings for each paragraph
A conclusion
A rubric stapled to the front
Any drafts
I'll collect those first thing tomorrow so that we can move on to
PTs and QBTs.
We'll do those simultaneously. Once finished we'll move on to Night with a focus on the themes developed in the first 47 pages. We will examine your quotes and check out Elie's reliability.
A word on the verbals quiz. Some did exceptionally well. Others struggled mightily. There will be a chance to land a more respectable score coming next week. Here's a little Christmas special Archer card question: What is the elf's name who befriends Rudolph in the claymation story "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer"? Archer card signature awaits any correct answer.
See you tomorrow.
