1. Introduce new vocabulary words and review tone words from Friday's class. There will be a surprise quiz over these tone words during our next class session. And, there may be a few allusions thrown in there as well.
2. Work on cause & effect with the topic of the Rams leaving St. Louis. After utilizing pre-writing organization (our handy little chart), you constructed a thesis statement incorporating the cause and effect of such an event. For the remainder of the class/homework, each person has one paragraph to write for a team essay. We will read these essays tomorrow during class and vote on the most successful. Since we have been discussing tone words a great deal, you may want to have a specific tone in your writing.
Note: If you would still like to share your teacher argument essay with your chosen teacher, there will be class time tomorrow to print out. Make sure your essay is ready to go -- i.e. proofed for quick production.
