Students will be able to analyze how the author uses claims to develop the point of the essay.
Bell Ringer:
Show the class wikispace.
Tell the students that I have sent a message to each of their emails to invite them to the site. You will need to copy and paste the link to their site on this page. Read directions on the website.
Site is due on Friday the 18th. (I said 17th last time, but the AB schedule is shifting.)
Comments are due by the 24th. The same day that we will be having an exam in here.
The exam will cover many parts of the book to check reading comprehension. It will cover the essay done in class, and discussions we have had in class so I hope you were paying attention.
Dialog journals are to be completed and turned in for a final grade on the 24th.
Activity:
Students are to open their dialog journals and read silently pages 109-120.
Read/Write:
CDW continued
Students are to finish their CDW charts entirely in class.
When completed, they may move on to their rough drafts.
Activity:
Rough Draft
Students are to begin writing their draft of the paper on a separate sheet. This draft, the final and the CDW will need to be stapled together when everything in completed.
Because the final draft is due at the end of class on Friday, the more of your rough draft you get done, the more time I will have to grade it if you like. If you want to leave the draft with me after class to grade it tonight, I can. If you need to continue working on it at home, have me look at it in class.
Review:
Final draft is due at the end of class on Friday. You will have most of class to work on it, but I suggest reading pages 121-144 at home to give you more time in class to work on the paper.
