Whew! We survived day one of ISTEP. Great work. We won't talk about the test here because that would be wrong but the sentiment seemed pretty positive. Now keep that momentum going for one more day. Tomorrow will most likely bring the longer essay. Remember all those tips we discussed in class and believe in yourself.
Honors: Super discussions over the "Shoot-out" article today. While we missed some key argument points, the arguments we shared were usually well supported by the text. Remember, at this point our goal is to defend our positions using the best arguments and evidence available. Think through carefully and fully to be sure you aren't letting good ideas fall by the wayside.
Read those nonfiction books and be sure to prepare for Thursday's group meeting.
Tomorrow? Chocolate milk anyone?
Standard: We wrapped up our The Ernest Green Story viewing and now have several pages of notes to draw from. Our next step will be to judge and rate those notes as insightful arguments and make choices as to the ones you will be using in your paper. We'll probably even flash draft tomorrow. See you then.
