Holcomb

With the exception of first hour (PSAT business), you are immersed in the world of Holcomb, Kansas, conveyed by the ever-scintillating Truman Capote. No matter where you are in the process of this class close read and eventual individual writing assignment, the vocab quiz for unit 13 will occur during the block day, so make sure you have sufficiently reviewed for this event. Following this class close read, we will commence our syntax week (o.k. it's more like 2 weeks, but that's not showing a lot of brevity), which I have condensed into a review of clauses, punctuation, and syntax types.

3: For tomorrow, write the most amazing introduction possible for the Holcomb prompt. I heard a few analogies today in fifth hour, and it definitely helps make an essay stand out to the graders. We will be working with that intro and other components of rhetorical analysis after the vocab quiz.

5: For tomorrow, you will be turning in 3 paragraphs to me for the Capote prompt: an intro, a body, and a conclusion. Feel free to revise from your first go-around before I have a look-see.
