AP English III
Sorry that we didn't get to touch on the outlines that you built around Section II of In Cold Blood. Please hang on to this work as we will likely take a look at it next class or next week as we spend time working on outlining and writing skills. Today you all got some great direct instruction in writing an argument, particularly on structure, organization, and thesis/argument statement writing. Start to apply this now to your outlines. Begin the revision process.
Next week will will have a rough draft workshop - more instructions will come on this Friday and Tuesday. You should work through half of your outline and turn it into a rough draft. To me, it makes most sense to do your introduction paragraph with your argument as well as a topic or two of the body.
Next class we'll be focused on Section III of In Cold Blood. Be sure that you have updated your vocabulary bookmarks with words from Sections I, II, and III - have pages numbers and synonyms. We'll be going on to the next phase of vocabulary work on Friday, and you'll need full bookmarks to do that.
English IV
Thank you all so much for the amazing celebration! I'm going to remember this for a long, long time! We even found time to do some work! Bonus! Today we were able to review grammar rules around apostrophes and start understanding how word families work. Remember - if the words share a root, then they share a meaning.
For tonight, take a look at your vocabulary notes and your literary terms from "I Go Along". We'll be reading more of the story on Friday, and doing some work about ourselves.
