1: We shared introductions from the Capote prompt and saw a wide array of hooks (some engaging, original; some more simple in approach), worked on writing 1 body paragraph and receiving feedback from your classmates, and discussed the best way to create that pesky conclusion. For tomorrow's class, you will need to turn in a completed introduction, 1 body paragraph, and 1 conclusion for the Capote prompt.
3: After turning in the Capote prompt and learning a bit more about the author and his work, we recapped all of the syntax types, rules, and theories from last class before continuing forward and learning about complex, compound-complex, cumulative, and periodic (the previous blog has many a link to reminders regarding these syntax forms under 5th hour's synopsis). For homework, write 2 sentences for each of the 6 syntax types - be original, clever, thematic, storytelling, or whatever makes this a memorable activity for your classmates.
5: After turning in your sentences, which I will be typing up this afternoon, we reviewed everything about syntax from our presentation Tuesday. From simple to periodic, a plethora of syntax filtered around the circle. Next up on the docket, we practiced punctuation proofing and rules and worked on identifying sentence types. We are in the middle of class as I type this, and it sure looks like you don't have any additional homework for tomorrow. Oh, to be ahead of the other classes.
