The Specificity of Vision

1: After our vocab and tone review for the partner quiz tomorrow, we spent the rest of the hour in the world of exemplification. The five stages (brainstorm, thesis, relevant examples, range, and specificity) are completed as you received feedback for your first draft of the vision paragraph. Probably the two best suggestions I can give you are to 1. make your topic sentence about the word/idea you are defining (vision in this case) and its qualities or roles in the subject matter of your choosing prior to introducing your person, era, group, movement and 2. bring in as much specific detail as possible to show off your ethos and explain the connection between vision and your example to your audience. Your second draft for this exemplification is paragraph is due by 7:25 tomorrow morning, so you have until then to rephrase, add, adjust, edit, or whatever you need to do or forever hold your typing.

3: Quite similar to first hour with our review of vocab and tone words for the partner quiz tomorrow. However, you began on step 3 of the exemplification process (that would relevant examples) and determined what examples would best validate your thesis and its idea of vision. Next, your group determined the range - whether it be chronological, cause/effect, greatest to least, or some other configuration. Onto step 5, you each composed a detailed paragraph - a first draft - to exemplify and specify the role of vision in many a subject. We made it through feedback of most of the groups, and I shall chat with any remaining writers tomorrow.

5: We finished our new vocab words - finally - and reviewed those and your set of tone words. Afterwards, we were back to the 5 stages of exemplification, starting with the fourth stage of determining the range. Then, you began the specificity portion, which involved composing an individual paragraph on one subject example. (I put some tips in first hour's recap if you need a refresher on what to do for a superior exemplification.) Your first draft of this paragraph is due at the start of class tomorrow so that I may give you feedback for a second draft. MH, I believe your group assigned you a subject for the paragraph, so check your shared document for further clarification.  See you tomorrow!
