Class on 2/22/17

Warm Up:
Students wrote introductory sentences for academic paragraphs (Students did not write the whole paragraph). Students practiced re-using or recycling as many key words from the initial question as possible. Students tried not to be too specific

Students exchanged their Fairy-tale paragraphs (page 44) with a focus on the correct use of coordinating conjunctions, and time order signals.

Students completed page 46 and whole class discussion of page 47.

Students had their own Free-writing exercise by following instruction on bottom of page 47. If you missed class take 15 minutes to free-write before attempting to write you draft paragraph.

We reviewed the first 4 pages of Chapter 3. There was emphasis on the sandwich graphic. You cannot have a paragraph with out Intro and Conclusion (that are similar) [the bread!]and you cannot have a paragraph with out details [the meat of the sandwich!].

Homework: 

  • Use your free-writing from this class. Follow Steps 1, 2 and 3 on page 48.
  • Bring your handwritten or typed paragraph on Monday.
