Multiple Choice Continues

1: We completed MC passage 1 by utilizing (oops - I know we don't like that verb) close reading, discussion, question categorizing, process of elimination, and class voting for correct answer. Throughout, you capitalized on strategies for comprehending the passage and answering the questions with greater accuracy. Tomorrow will mean more MC and some argumentation.

3 & 7: We completed MC passage 2 by working from the questions to the close read to the discussion to answering to the explaining. Lots of verbs - "all of them tiring" - that's from Cold Mountain. Tomorrow will be the next passage and then a review of argumentation's first three properties, which you would know as claim, evidence, and warrant. 

4: We finished the analysis of MC passage 2 and then spent the rest of the hour with MC passage 3, which involved an approach that combined both previous passages. Through the question close reading, question categorization, close reading and sharing of ideas, and answering of the questions, you completed the passage. Next class will start with argumentation - ooh! - so you will have a chance to use words like claim, evidence, and warrant again.
