Total: /200 This project covers standards 9-10. SL.CC.2, SL.CC. 3, SL.PKI.4, SL.PKI.5, and SL.PKI.6. If you did not complete your intro paragraph in class today, please finish it over the weekend. Also, begin working on your first claim by writing it and selecting evidence for the claim.
For homework tonight, you are to go ahead and select your evidence that goes under your claim, counterclaim, and main claim. Remember to highlight these in different colors so that you know which evidence goes where. Remember that your evidence selection should be based on the outline you chose to use in class. If you have forgotten or lost your outline, here is a copy of the outline.
I do want to emphasize that an argumentative essay is a minimum of 5 paragraphs, but you can have more paragraphs. You must be able to provide enough evidence to support 4, 5, or 6 body paragraphs. Here are the options we discussed in class. Yes! Homework is beneficial! I. Intro (not written yet!) II. Teacher's advantage (weak claim) III. Student's disadvantage (counterclaim) IV. Student's advantage (Main claim) V. Conclusion (not written yet!) NO! Homework is a terrible concept in education! I. Intro (not written yet!) II. Negative effect on student's social life and interest in school (weak claim) III. Positive effect on student's learning (counterclaim) IV. Negative effect on student's health (main claim) V. Conclusion (not written yet!) After two days of CASE benchmark testing, it is time to MOVE ON! Whooo hoooo!
For homework, please complete Lesson 49 of your subject verb agreement packet. Do only #1-10. We will go over the answers tomorrow. Also, please read the articles about homework. We are going to move forward and begin constructing an argumentative essay from these articles. Yes, I will go over this step-by-step so that you are not lost. Make sure that you are working on your short story project! It is due on February 19, when we come back from the three-day weekend.
Make sure you have read Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. We will begin tearing down this text over the course of the next few days.
Study for your clauses quiz. You must be able to tell the difference among simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences along with identifying complete sentences, sentence fragments, and run-on sentences. If you have finished reading, please work on your short story project that is due on February 19. :) Finish your concluding paragraph tonight.

Tonight, brainstorm about how you are going to introduce this new essay. Remember that we are focusing only on the intro and conclusion since that is where most of the problem is for this class. We will write the outline of the body in class tomorrow and talk to each other in groups and write individual intro paragraphs tomorrow. The goal is to be better at these essential parts of an essay. Prompt: In an informative essay, define the criteria of the perfect woman as demonstrated in the following texts: "Lamb to the Slaughter" by Roald Dahl, ". |
