We will resume vocab experts tomorrow and complete the last 8 words of vocabulary this week. The end result will be an overall Vocabulary Quest next week.
To start off our compare and contrast writing unit (if you are counting, we have, including this one, three essays left to go), you were introduced to five key facets of this mode of discourse: the basis (brainstorming, planning component), the thesis (including the purpose and eradicating predictable words such as "similarities" and "differences"), the organization (block versus point-by-point), the transitions (utilizing comparison and contrasting phraseology), and the conclusion (final statement regarding the topics at hand). For tomorrow's expedition, we will start practicing compare and contrast writing and analyzing sample texts.
Make sure you are in class all week: the next essay begins as a group activity and you will need all of your partners on the same page and ready to complete the assigned tasks.
