In all classes today, we continued forward with vocab and then worked with the rangefinders: scoring the essays for 1-9, finding out the official scores (which we all agree were over-marked), analyzing the + and - of each essay, and going over reminders/tips for writing.
And don't forget to take the survey linked in the previous blog!
In first hour, our small class today did something very impressive: organizing all the strategies/modes of discourse with their definitions in 12 minutes! Normally, we don't play this review mix and match until the end of first semester, so this was an extremely impressive example of teamwork, knowledge, and savant power! (By the way, my former AP Lang students were impressed by this feat.)
In fifth hour, you received your Banneker prompts back, filled out the next line on your RA chart, and commenced essay meetings with me. We will continue with those meetings on Thursday and then have another close reading activity to keep up with those skills.
