In a world without vocabulary, we jump right into writing. First, you met with your partner to evaluate your compare and contrast paragraphs. Overall, you are understanding the need for multiple examples, transitions, and final concluding statements. However, maintain your focus on the thesis statement (or topic sentence in this case) and its incorporation of both comparing and contrasting.
After our evaluation time, we read "Sex, Lies, and Conversation," a text looking at the way women and men communicate and how this can lead to relationship problems.
The remainder of the hour centered around your group research assignment for the compare and contrast assessment next week. In your assigned group, you were given 10 St. Louis locations that will require research (cited research). Each person will take 2 of the locations and make a plethora of notes for the assessment next week. (You may even go to these locations to help add to your ethos!) The notes will be due on Wednesday. The assessment will be during Thursday's class.
On Monday, we will complete a team essay practice on high school vs college - the topic you selected on Wednesday. If there is time on Monday and Tuesday, you will be able to work on your notes for the assessment.
