1: We completed our practice introductory argument on our subject of inspiration, Honey Boo Boo, by sharing claims, evidence, and super warrants. Then, we read "To His Coy Mistress" to identify an overall claim, sub-claims within the argument, evidence and warrant connecting to each sub-claim, and the overall meaning of a Carpe Diem poem. Tomorrow will be a busy day, so be prepared for a lot of work with multiple choice and argument.
3, 4, & 7: We analyzed the answers of MC passage 4. Then, you received the Educator of the Year/Employee of the Year Argument essay. To accumulate the main components of this assignment, you are to select a teacher or staff member that you would like to nominate and write a 3-4 paragraph essay on a Google Doc. Your purpose is to convince the committee readers that your nominee is the best instructor or worker at our school. For this assignment, you will be completing 1 draft for a participation grade, and you will be showing it to me during the block class for instant feedback. If you choose to, you can revise for a second draft and turn it in to Ms. Leacox by Friday to officially nominate your selection. For any length of essay, you should dedicate one paragraph to the personal reasons for nominating this person and one paragraph to the school-wide influence of this person (order is up to you). If you choose a 4 paragraph essay structure, you want an introduction with a hook and a claim, 2 body paragraphs with a sub-claim, evidence, and warrant(s), and a concluding paragraph. If you choose a 3 paragraph essay structure, you want the above items, but you will tack on a concluding sentence or sentences to the last body paragraph. This will be due approximately 35-40 minutes into the block class, so if you do not think you can complete this in that time frame, then you should work on this essay this evening.
