Final Typed Draft is due on Thursday. Please have your parents edit and help revise your essays. Good luck.
The typed rough draft of the 5 paragraph essay is due tomorrow. We have been working on it for a week. It's crunch time - get it done folks!
Today the Only in the Movies essay was introduced along with the ISU project.
No homework this weekend. Students need to finish the novel so we can begin the essay next week. Be safe.
Today we finished the test on Act 3 & 4 which means we are heading towards finishing the book. Next week we will work on the culminating task which will be a formal guided 5 paragraph essay. It will be a lot of work but well worth it.
We also talked a little bit about the archetype of a comedic story which seems a bit confusing now but will make sense to everyone over time. On a side note: Some students are getting into the habit of using their phones for social uses during class this is a real distraction and equates to poor performance time and time again. TURN OFF THE PHONES!!! Don't forget Monday is a PD day so the students do not have to come to school.
Today we took up Act 2 and had two more speakers corners. We also took up the grammar work from yesterday. Hopefully everyone is getting the idea that we must capitalize properly and think about how we are writing not just what we are writing. This weekend students have a bit of homework to finish on Act 3 &4. It is a worksheet similar to Act 2. There is also a paragraph that is due on Wednesday about a character other than Jake. The paragraph is not intended to take them a tremendous amount of time but I would like them to type it and write it in formal style. Finally on Wednesday we will be having a quiz on Act 3 &4. By the end of next week the students should have the novel finished as we will be starting on the final essay assignment. |
