In Period 5, I:
- handed back your Pizza Descriptions (Activity 1.3, page 8), any scored Name final drafts, the Essential Questions, and any timelines / Unit Overview / Learning focus papers that I still had.
We:
- reviewed our Pizza Descriptions work to be sure that you all understandTone, Theme, Diction, Syntax, Imagery, and Inferences
- worked closely with the 1.7 graphic organizer, using the following sentence frame to work independently to find examples of diction, syntax, imagery, and tone:
When (the author) writes, "(excerpt here)," on page / in lines (page number / line numbers here), the reader is better able to understand(concept the author wants you to understand / 'get' from the writing) because of (author's) use of (rhetorical appeal).
Period 5's Homework (as well as for those of you from Period 7 who told me - by putting your hands up - that you were ready to "keep rollin'" with these sentences - BB, MD, AMc, JC, EO, and TH):
- finishing your Introductions (how you'll introduce your classmates, based on what you learned in the interviews - 1.4) - look here for the requirements;
- write one analytical sentence for each of the four rhetorical appeals - diction, syntax, imagery, and tone
