Week 3-9

Looking ahead at the upcoming week....

Monday- continue writing argumentative essays (refer to the cover page for more info)

Note: we are using these templates as a guide. Feel free to reference them or print them and use them as your rough draft. Intro, body 1, body 2, body 3, counterclaim, conclusion

Tuesday- continue with the rough draft, read sample argumentative essays

Wednesday- ReadTheory homework is due, practice using the online assessment tool that will be used for the Georgia Milestone Assessments (Parents- you can explore the assessment interface, too! This online testing system is new to all of us, and I want to make sure they are familiar with the system.)

We will have an alternate schedule on Thursday and Friday. Click here for more details.

Thursday- continue with the rough draft, read sample argumentative essays

Friday- Rough drafts of the argumentative essays are due. We will complete editing and revising stations in class, which are part of the final summative grade.

Special Note

After milestone testing, we will be reading Tangerine, by Edward Bloor. I have a class set of paperback books, but the students are welcome to purchase their own copy (in print or digital) in order to annotate the text directly.
