Post lunch, we focused on compare and contrast writing by...
- reviewing the 5 components of basis, thesis, organization, transitions, and conclusions.
- working in a group to create a basis, thesis, example organization, and concluding statement for 2 subjects.
- reading "Two Ways of Seeing a River" to see how Twain used block organization and analogy to create his impressions of a novice and an expert and what is lost when one becomes accustomed to his or her profession.
- creating a community board of c/c topics.
- selecting a topic for a c/c 1-2 paragraph assignment, which you will have on Friday for evaluation with a partner (and maybe me too).
If you will not be here on Friday, make sure to stop by on Thursday for your work. You will have tasks to complete for Monday and next week.
