- Brainstorming a plethora of examples from multiple subject areas.
- Constructing a thesis statement.
- Selecting the relevant examples.
- Determining the range (the ordering) of your examples.
- Writing specific, thorough examples in paragraph form.
1: We read "The History Teacher" by Billy Collins and analyzed its meaning, purpose, relevant examples, and range. We highlighted the five steps of exemplification. We divided up into groups of 4, brainstormed examples of "vision," constructed a thesis statement, selected 4 examples - each from a different subject area, determined the range, and assigned an example to each group member. We will be continuing with this tomorrow, which will occur while you are running about to the guidance office for schedule meetings. In order to write strong examples tomorrow, you should research your assigned person for specific examples relating to his/her vision. After exemplification, we have allusion poster 3, tone paragraphs and words round 2, and multiple choice passage 3.
3: Due to our guidance meetings today, we are a tad behind first hour's summary. At this point in the "vision" assignment, you are at the brainstorming stage of the exemplification. Feel free to add any examples this evening. We will pick up there tomorrow and then do everything mentioned under first hour's plans.
7: Same as first hour -- how about that?
