Success & the Mother-Daughter Dynamic

As we continue forward into CDQ-style argumentation, we have 2 prompts to practice this skill prior to the return of your diagnostic essay. (Tomorrow is the last day for students to make-up the prompt from last week.) While all hours are working on tone, argument, and multiple choice passages, each one has reached a different part of our journey.

1: We reviewed vocab and tone words for our quiz tomorrow, recapped the answers for passage 4c - the "Baby Worship" passage, and completed a CDQ on "success" according to Selden's world view.

For homework, complete the 2 passages 4d and 4e, which will be graded tomorrow. Then, using the mother-daughter prompt, construct a thesis statement and brainstorm a list of possible examples for tomorrow's class. Make sure you complete all parts of this homework assignment so that you are prepared for tomorrow's class. Any absentees, I only have hard copies of these assignments, so you will most likely be in the hall for a portion of the class tomorrow.

3: We reviewed vocab and tone words for our quiz tomorrow, graded the MC passages 1d & 1e, which will be worth 20 points as one of your classmates scored perfectly on this assignment! Afterwards, you worked on a solo CDQ, which is on the back of your handout from last week (the prompt about mothers and daughters). If absent today, you will need to construct 2 paragraphs for this prompt - an introduction and a body paragraph. Remember, you should be using specific examples (that includes one in your hook to start off the essay with exemplification).

For homework. score the rangefinders for the CDQ diagnostic essay.

7: We reviewed vocab and tone words for our quiz tomorrow, graded the MC passages 4d & 4e. The highest score was 19 on this passage pair, which will be the value of the assignment. Afterwards, you worked with a team to construct a CDQ for Selden's definition of success. Absentees, I only have hard copies of this assignment, and you will have to wait to complete this task.

For homework, score the rangefinders for the CDQ diagnostic essay.
