Friday, 1/31
So…we've been out for a couple of snow days. I hope you've still been diligent with completing your vocabulary Cornell Notes and reading your independent reading good for 30 minutes each day. I am going to extend the due date for the Cornell Notes to Monday, February 3rd. We will also have our quiz on Monday.
Classwork:
Complete a Platonic dialoge worksheet in order to solidify your most compelling counterargument. Type your Counterargument/Rebuttal paragraph. We will complete the Conclusion paragraph and Works Cited next Monday, and we will do final revisions to the paper on Tuesday. Your paper will be due by the end of class on Wednesday. If you have finished, you will create a Glogster, Prezi, or Google presentation to accompany your paper.
Homework:
Complete your vocab Cornell Notes for terra, thermo, anti, auto, bene, circum, and contra. Study for your quiz. Read your independent reading novel for 30 minutes.
Cryptic advice: If you haven't been reading, I would strongly suggest you read quite a bit over the weekend.
Monday, 1/27
Classwork:
1) Click on this link: No Red Ink Grammar Assessments. Enter the username on your index card and the password 1234567 to access your No Red Ink account. Set up your profile and choose your interest options. Complete the apostrophes assignment. If you get an answer wrong on the first attempt, click on the "Show hint" button for a clue about the grammar rule. When you are finished with your grammar assignment, keep the tab open so I can consult with you individually during class.
No Red Ink class codes (if needed) P1=4f9xmkvk, P2=43dfxed7, P3=vdh8ffx9, P6=x778hve8, P7=af4cv38x
2) Open up your technology paper template. Find a partner. (If you are uncomfortable with finding a partner, or cannot find a partner, let me know.) Get your peer editing sheets at the front of the class. Review your partner's paper, complete your peer editing sheet, and make constructive comments using the Comments feature on the Google Doc. Review your partner's comments, make necessary changes to your paper and continue working on Body Paragraphs #2 and #3.
Body paragraph #2 must be completed by the end of class.
Homework:
Continue working on your vocab Cornell Notes. Make flash cards to help you understand the meaning of each prefix.
Read your independent reading novel for 30 minutes.
Helpful hints and extension opportunity:
Having trouble remembering the meaning of the prefix "terra"? Check out these links to give you a visual image of China's Terracotta warriors. I was lucky enough to have seen them during a visit to China when I was younger. If you ever have a chance to go to China, make sure to see this exhibit! It is amazing!
Research paper timeline for this week:
Monday: Peer edit and complete body paragraph #2
Tuesday: Complete body paragraph #3 and discuss counterargument paragraph ideas during peer planning.
Wednesday: Complete counterargument paragraph and peer edit.
Thursday: Complete conclusion, peer edit, and complete works cited.
Friday: Make revisions and submit final.
Extra credit for early finishers/weekend workers: Create Glogster or Prezi to accompany your paper. Give examples of pathos, ethos, and logos used to deliver your message to your audience.
