Meetings & Class Close Reads

All classes are at the mercy of Banneker prompt meetings, which will determine the commencement of the class close read.

1: We finished off our meetings today, which should help you make improvements on the next close read, writing activity, and eventual prompts. Afterwards, we reviewed for vocab, which means your quiz will be Tuesday. After the quiz, we will working on a class close read, so ready your pens and pencils!

3: We finished our vocab words, which means review day will be on Monday, and we finished our Banneker prompt meetings, which means we will be starting a new class close read on Monday. Since we had a little extra time today, you were given all the rhetorical strategy and mode of discourse cards to organize, and you did so in an impressive 10 minutes for the first go-around.

5: After finishing our vocab words, we close read a passage by Capote, noting the characterization of Holcomb, Kansas, and how the author presented the community to us via a few rhetorical strategies. For homework, write the perfect hook + the perfect thesis to create the perfect introductory paragraph. Be creative - this is your chance because you have time!
