Time slipped away quickly today due to all the little things we had to take care of so we only scratched the surface of the planned lesson. Nevertheless, we did have some good student led discussion on what we saw in a couple dog draft paragraphs. We'll explore these and the claims a little more closely tomorrow.
Homework for the honors classes:
1) Prepare for the presentation/debate tomorrow
2) Write an additional body paragraph or two for tomorrow's class
We started looking at craft and goal ideas today. We had a large variety of connections, but then I showed you an example of a more focused exploration paragraph. Here's an example we discussed in class. That's what I want you to do tonight. Narrow the scope. Focus on one idea for a page and develop it well.
Homework for the standard classes:
1) Prepare for the presentation/debate tomorrow
2) Write 2 pages on potential topics. Write about one craft move/technique and the reason the author is using it for one page. Then choose a different craft move/technique and the reason the author is using it for a second page.
Until next time...
