1: We began the hour returning back to vocab and copying down Unit 18 for tomorrow's restart of vocab experts and then turned to the topic of "tennis" for our third round of tone paragraphs. Izzy, you have sardonic as you tone of the week. After our fun with tennis, including the ever-attractive tennis ball scented candles, we reviewed argumentation (redundantly, I know, but it has been a few weeks) and used "To His Coy Mistress" to find the speaker's claim, evidence, warrant(s), counterclaim, and rebuttal. This was quite helpful to help us understand CDQ argumentation, i.e. Challenge, Defend, Qualify, a subgenre of argumentation that once appeared as an option on the AP Lang exam. While we will not be spending a long time on CDQ work, we will have a look at samples and a practice just in case that terminology comes back into play. You have the rangefinders for a CDQ prompt, which you are to score for next class.
3: Basically, the same as above. However, your tone topic was "necromancy" and its forms.
5: You are a tad behind the other classes, but I'm sure that will shortly change. We started with the Modest Proposal MC, another chance at practicing the skills needed for the exam. Then, we moved to copying down Unit 18 vocab for our latest foray into vocab experts. The remainder of the time was for tone paragraphs with your topic of "eyes" for the beholder. Blake, your tone word is trite for this round. We will complete the speed learning portion of tone round 3 for next class and return back to argument.
