- Mr. Dunlap hands out this blog and students volunteer to read aloud to class, the assignment listed for today assignments
- If you didn't finish your test. Mr. Dunlap will pass back your unfinished test for you to finish. If you didn't take your test, you will need to take it. Make sure you record your answers on a separate piece of paper. ALL STUDENTS MUST REMAIN QUIET UNTIL ALL TESTS HAVE BEEN TURNED INTO MR. DUNLAP. DO NOT TALK WHILE STUDENTS ARE TESTING.
- If you finish the test before others you should work on any of the following (QUIETLY at your seat)
-Make sure your R#45 (example still on board) has at least 15 entries. Remember the things you record should support your thesis. The more book support you record on R#45, the better your paper will be.
-Go to the table at the front of class, and take your own copy of the Literary Analysis Guide and the two model essays on Literary Analysis (conch paper, Fitzgerald paper). Read the part about support for the Literary Anaysis paper from Topic Sentence to Clincher/Concluding Sentence. Then look at the support in the model essays. Compare the items the guide tells you belong in the support with the model essays.
4. When EVERYONE has turned in their test to Mr. Dunlap, he will handout the following:
-Peer Editing Sheet Introduction
When you get this handout, write your name where it says writer's name.
Before you exchange introductions with someone in the class, make sure you consider the following:
-that their introduction must include the name of the book and author
- it should have a linking sentence before the thesis that connects the thesis to the rest of the introduction
- that you should be honest about whether the person's intro. is engaging. If it isn't and you write that it is, you aren't helping the person.
-the background information should give enough background so that if someone hadn't read the book, they would understand it. It shouldn't throw in book terms or names without explaining who or what they are.
5) Have someone you trust fill out your editing sheet while reading your introduction. You can have more than one person fill it out, just make sure they all put their names.
6)DUE Monday: Support for Essay. See ABOVE regarding reading the Guide/Models for directions and R#45. If you do not have your support on Monday, then you will not have the advantage of someone reviewing it for you.
3/25 - B Day English Classes
- Mr. Dunlap to handout this blog. A volunteer will read today's directions. You do not need to read the directions for the A day classes, as you have already completed that lesson.
- This is your blog to keep, please write on it, highlight it, take notes on it, or make it look like you have actively read it. I will grade you on this when I return. Keep it.
- Mr. Dunlap will handout the following:
-Things Fall Apart- Peer Editing the Body
-Things Fall Apart- Literary Analysis Conclusion
4)If you wrote your support, as was assigned, exchange papers with someone you trust and have them fill out your Peer editing worksheet. If you didn't write your support, then write your support. You can have more than one person edit your support for you. Also, have someone edit your paper for spelling, punctuation, or grammar errors. You might want to read your paper out loud to the person so you catch some of your own mistakes, and also because they may not completely understand what you are trying to write.
5) Next look at the Literary Analysis Guide handout and Model Essays. Read what you are supposed to have in the Conclusion of your Essay. Then read the model essays' conclusions. You can do this by yourself, or you can do it in your group. After reviewing the conclusion, write your conclusion on the paper provided. Due Tuesday if you don't finish in class.
6) When you come to class on Tuesday, you should have the following. An introduction peer editing sheet- filled out in completion for your introduction, plenty of support and the support editing sheet filled out completely by a peer, a conclusion.
