Check out the course assignments tab for the persuasive essay ppt and the essay with questions that is due on Friday.
We took up the two compare and contrast essays today: A Fable for Tomorrow and Columbus and the Moon. The weekend should be spent prepping for your essay. Have a great one!
Today we went over a very dry concept about sentences but hopefully it will help with our writing style. The hand out unfortunately was on the photocopier waiting for me but I was looking on my desk. So...check assignments and you will find the hand out for tomorrows lesson. Thanks!!
We finished today looking at the Marc Lapine essay. Next week we will continue on with Compare Contrast essays.
Tonight we are reading "Killing Machines" and looking at identifying some of the content: thesis and argument: ethos, logos & pathos. We are also looking at style: tone, sentence structure and literary devices. As you read highlight and make note of these elements. Good luck!
Thank you to those who responded to the prompt. The more engaged in the course you are the better you will do. I look forward to seeing you next week! Right now, by the way, I am reading 3 novels: Magyk, Oryx and Crake and A Discovery of Witches all are keeping my interest so far.
If you were absent today please read and annotate "Arming the Spirit" by George Faludy found on the course reading tab. Thanks to all who have submitted a comment already. Terrific. I would love to hear about other fantasy books you may have read other than the hobbit :) Anyway, when commenting please do not include your email address. I think it would be better to keep those private. I made the mistake myself on my post but can't remove it until I take down the whole post. Just unclick the email box when commenting. Have a great night!
What do you like to read? Why?
Looking forward to meeting my new students . The first day is always exciting!!
