1 & 3: You have your new tone topics (1st = relationships; 3rd = fears), and you completed a paragraph with your selected tone. Mia, your tone word is reticent; Grace, your tone word is empathetic. We will continue learning these words - in a speedily fashion - during tomorrow's block day.
4: We focused the remainder of the hour on our exemplification work: brainstorming, thesis-making, relevant example selecting, ranging, and assigning you to write one paragraph on your group document. Each of you have either picked or been assigned (sorry absentees) a topic to support the idea of vision and what it means. This paragraph needs to be completed prior to class starting, so make sure that all of you have this ready to go for evaluative purposes.
7: We transitioned into reviewing our second round of tone words and then looked into exemplification and its focus on relevancy, range, and specificity. To do so, we read "The History Teacher" by Billy Collins to look at a text flushed with examples. After detailing the steps in creating in exemplification, you broke into group, created a shared Google doc (all absent students were included), and began a massive brainstorm on the term "vision." The mass brainstorm must be ready to go by the start of class tomorrow.
