Today we:
Today we:
- Received the book report form (will be posted later)---DUE ON FRIDAY with some student presentations
- Received back the NEA grants synthesis essays and read a sample essay and discussed strengths and weaknesses
- Issues:
- issue at hand should be mentioned in the intro so that the thesis statement has some context and makes more sense
- Topic sentences NEED to be solid claims to support / give reasons for your thesis statement
- Still having issues with people not giving context for sources and proper attribution phrases
- Some idea jumping and arguments are not logical and/or cohesive (Remember! This is an argument paper! Make your case! Convince the other side!)
- Nuance and insight on the matters being discussed are lacking in many papers--many people just threw quotes in to get them in there---but it only ended in tears--my tears.
- essays with 4's basically mean the argument was poor or poorly constructed/organized, sources not well synthesized
- Issues:
Make up days for Synthesis essay (4's and below) are Tuesday and Thursday after school---you will hand write it again with a 40 min timed session. If you do not show up on one of those days, no rewrite will be done. You must bring your original essay and packet of sources/prompt to the session. Please show up to the rewrite at 3:35 promptly.
- We looked at the prompt and rubric for this paper, began compiling our research sources, and began planning our research paper---you will be expected to work on this ALL week for homework!
Homework:
- Book report is due Friday--absent or not. Get it done tonight, please, if possible. (if you did a good job taking notes on your book over the break, this report should be cake)
- Use outline format sheet to plan your research paper
