Infer definitions from the following models:
33. He showed his grandma deferential treatment over his brother, out of respect for her age and wisdom.
34. To automatically believe someone's argument as credulous without them providing logos and pathos, would be foolish.
35. He used his straw as a conduit to drink the thick shake.

Definitions for each word reviewed as a class.
deferential: showing or expressing respect, courteous
credulous: gullible, willing to believe without proper evidence
conduit: a natural or artificial tube or channel through which something fluid, liquid travels.

Write your own sentence, using context clues for each of the words. Have a peer review. Ms. Batten comes to verify peers have reviewed the word accurately. Remember a circle around their name means they aren't taking the time to give you proper feedback or they don't know how to use the words. Don't keep using someone whose name is continually circled for reviews.

Presentations (Continue Evaluations-Remember to submit Evaluations at the end of each class day)

Personal Reflection-Each group/presenter will be submitting a personal reflection after presentations. They will receive a list of comments from classmates and their grade from the teacher and will evaluate themselves on logos, pathos, ethos and speak of any changes they would make if presenting in the future.

Data Folders Students add to data folders, diagnostic mastery done in November.Students told to turn in today or next class.

APOM: Students reminded we will start reading A Prayer For Owen Meany again on Friday. They should bring their own copy of the book if they have one or the book they checked out. We will work on inferences, the next class.

Comprehension checks Reviewed. Student reminded that the thumbs up, out, down are universal signs in this class for any question I direct to them, such as: Do you understand: I'm not close-up  A little-thumbs out  Not at all: down   Do you need more time: Yes-Up Almost Done: thumbs out  I'm done: Thumbs out
Show me you're listening  Thumbs up: Yes  Thumbs out: I missed something you just said Nothing: not paying attention

Students reminded that if absent for a presentation or here but not prepared, that 25 points is deducted from the possible grade, meaning the highest grade to receive would be a C. Also student told to make sure they have their presentation ready, so that when I have time in class to fit in late presentations, they are prepared. They should bring their project to me at the beginning of class, and be the first one with their hand up when I ask who wants to present today.

For commentary and grading, use the rubric that has been provided to you. Ms. Batten hands out rubrics to anyone who hasn't brought theirs to class, to use while evaluating.

Students must turn in their Evaluations each day for credit. Absent students do not have to make this up for the presentations they weren't  present for.
