1 & 4: After 15 minutes of completing the hook for your team mini essay, we started the reading and peer/teacher evaluation of the Capote prompts. By scoring the thesis, the evidence/evaluation, and the sophistication, we are looking closely at the passage, the writing, and the new scoring rubric. In all group evaluations so far, we have been within 1 of each other, which means that we are noting the same strengths and areas for improvement in the writing. We'll finish our last (I think) 3 evaluations tomorrow and then comes the might syntax week (or weeks).
3: After finishing our class close read, we completed our vocab quiz for unit 13, and then began the team writing portion for the Capote prompt, which involved crafting a team thesis statement, assigning a strategy to each person, and then writing a body paragraph for tomorrow's class. As an added note, make sure to not use outside means to help you with the body paragraph. Treat this as if you had a prompt to write in class with just the prompt, the paper, the pen, and your brain. The feedback will be more effectual for you that way.
7: We copied vocab unit 14 to start vocab experts tomorrow, wrapped up the Capote prompt by hearing a sample introduction and the basic plot of In Cold Blood, and then began our syntax unit with study of clauses, sentence types, and punctuation.In particular, we spent quality time with differentiating independent and dependent clauses, identifying simple and compound sentences, reviewing subordinating and coordinating conjunctions, and highlighting the rules for punctuation with compound sentences. If you missed anything in class, I would recommend borrowing a classmate's notes.
