Please read your specific hour's information.

1. We responded to the speaker of "His Coy Mistress," by writing a poem utilizing a claim, evidence, and warrant. Following that activity, we branched into the Educator/Employee of the Year argumentative essay. For the assignment, you will construct a written nomination that utilizes a claim (the "why" that person should be nominated), evidence (personal anecdote and also overview examples), and warrants (concluding sentences). This essay will be a one draft affair and 3-4 paragraphs. After you receive feedback, you may then redraft to construct a polished, vivid essay for official nomination - the deadline is December 14. Any nominating essays that are read during the January announcement will receive extra credit. You will have all class on Tuesday to work on this assignment and receive feedback from me. Then, we will return back to Lucy and multiple choice passages for the remainder of the week.

2. We finished examples of evidence and reviewed the function of warrants in argument. Then, you read "To His Coy Mistress" and identified the claim, evidence, and warrant of the speaker. For any remaining information, read first hour's synopsis. We will go over the requirements of the assignment, and you will write the essay during class tomorrow.

4: We reviewed claims by looking at my Advanced Composition's Honey Boo Boo argument examples. Then, we looked at how evidence and warrants help construct an argument through examples and "To His Coy Mistress." With partners, you then constructed a response utilizing claim, evidence, and warrant to show how the mistress would react to such a proposal. During our last moments of class, I introduced the Educator/Employee of the Year assignment with the expectation that you brainstorm a list of evidence for your nominee. We will go over all the requirements and time plan tomorrow. If you want a preview of the assignment, check out first hour's paragraph.
