That sure was a quick class today. We weren't able to accomplish much but we did get the TIPP papers back and prior to that we took a good look at an exemplary paper written by Meghan Corwin. Exceptional work, Meghan! Not only did she write a well-researched, fluid piece that clearly supported her argument, but she made sure to personalize it with bits of voice sprinkled throughout. We got a glimpse at Renee Yaseen's paper too--we'll take a closer look tomorrow--and if nothing else we saw she wrote a killer introduction complete with a well-developed extended metaphor. As I mentioned, we'll take another look at Renee's piece, write reflections on the paper and then answer any lingering questions.
I'm still assessing the in-class writings over "The Interlopers". Those should be completed by Thursday. Some good ones so far. I wonder who Freddie Mercury, Bob Larry and Demothses Wiggin are? good papers.
Thanks to a statement made by Maggie Brenneman last Friday, I selected our next poem and story to analyze. The poem is a quick twelve lines ( and, yes, it does rhyme) written by Sara Teasdale. The story shares a title with Teasdale's poem. We'll look at the poem tomorrow, and after our Acuity Predictive C tests on Thursday, we will get to the story.
Keep reading those fiction books. Be thinking about questions along the way as well.
See you soon.
