1 & 3: We finished up vocab and reviewed tone prior to sharing our brainstorms for dishonor, empathy, faith, and guilt, which continued our work towards original, mature examples that stem from variegated subjects. Then, we broke into groups with each group brainstorming for the abstract nouns of "identity" and "jingoism," then choosing to be either team identity or team jingoism, and then splitting up examples to create a team essay. Each group member will be writing one paragraph (which you decided in class) for the start of our next class. Be ready to analyze and have feedback since we will be completing more writing, brainstorming, and evaluating of arguments.
4: After vocab and tone, we spent the hour brainstorming abstract nouns in 3 minute increments. Words included in our brainstorming included achievement (riding a bike, Blues Stanley Cup, Mongols, Nobel Peach Prize), absurdity (Groundhog's Day, Salem Witch Trials, Dahmer, Lord of the Flies), dishonor, empathy, faith, and guilt. Tomorrow, we will be sharing brainstorms for the last 3 abstract nouns listed, so if you were absent, you are expected to have brainstorms completed and your four favorite choices for each one determined.
7: Today was all about brainstorming, writing, and evaluating in the name of team identity or team jingoism and then writing a team argumentative essay for the team's selected topic. After the writing process, you received direct feedback to help you with your future argumentative writings.
