We did a bit of follow-up from yesterday's Socratic discussion and the score sheets were distributed. (Chart on your Skills Tracking page.) We began work on our argumentative writing on the unit essential question. Pick up a score sheet and read the instructions. Additionally, before starting the "writing," you need to organize your themes and evidence either by creating an outline or color-coding the items directly on your E.Q. page. The structure of your paragraph is critical to this type of writing! ; ) See me for help along the way; I am always happy to answer specific questions. We'll be in the lab tomorrow and on Monday, also. (Note to add to your score sheet as notes to self: When you are done with the whole paragraph, you will use your "Edit My Writing Now" handout - go through the 5 steps with highlighters. Make needed edits. Then, when you have your true final draft, highlight that one, also for text structure. You need to submit the final draft also to turnitin.com (NO highlights, please, on this one). Due date is next Tuesday at the start of class.
