Today was all about our first timed cold read prompt, which featured a very important figure in the history of our country. I had never heard of our author before teaching this class; since then, I have gained much more ethos, so much so that we will actually celebrate this author's day in November (so stay tuned on the blog for more details on that).
Currently typing this during third hour, all of you look quite intent on writing, which is a wonderful sign that you are involved with the text and creating the best analysis - all while the measurement of time exists in the background.
*Do remember that you are not to talk about this prompt with other classes as to avoid giving future writers an unfair advantage over your work.
Friday will be a bit of a hodgepodge day, according to where you class left off on the block day. Some hours are ready to start vocab; others are taking the quiz over the last unit. Some hours have finished the presentations; third hour still has one remaining. Whatever the case, if you are not bringing you rhetorical toolbox to class with you on a daily basis, you may want to start the habit.
If you missed today's prompt, you most likely will be making that up during class tomorrow due to the fact that we will eventually review the passage - together - in the very near future.
