Writer's Notebook: Vocab entry - Choose 2 words from your reading to add to the vocab section of your notebook.
We discussed the Greek drama test that's coming up tomorrow and Friday. I shared the essay prompt with students: Write an essay stating your position on whether laws should always be followed. Students will write the essay in class on Thursday. Those who do not finish in the allotted time may come back during A block Friday to complete it. On Friday, students will complete the multiple choice and short answer sections of the test. Students may use notes and questions packets on this part of the test.
We took about 15 minutes to wrap up the DIDLS activity from yesterday, looking at how all of the elements work together to reveal the tone of their chosen piece.
I shared 5 STAAR essay prompts, and students worked in groups to write two thesis statements, one for each position. Students then chose one position and wrote the call to action that would conclude the paper. We discussed how the STAAR essay is different from other essays we write because we don't have to write an introduction and we can use 1st and 2nd person.
