A Couple Helpful Links

Here is the rubric for the Author's Craft Essay.

Here is the link to the Author's Craft Sample Page

Today we worked on claims in the standard class and conclusions in the honors class.

The standard class learned that the claim should have the title, author, technique and goal mentioned in it.

The honors were reminded that the conclusion should restate the claim, remind the reader of the key arguments and then end with a cohesive ending or a jolt or a call to action or a surprising twist or a clever ending or a thoughtful statement or some other creative and effective form of closure.

The homework for the standard class consists of writing a claim and then writing one body paragraph.

The homework for the honors class consists of having a complete rough draft ready to be edited tomorrow in class.

Four more days!

Until next time...
