And now we move forward into the drafting phase! Today's class was about feedback on our outlines in our cohort groupings followed by time to finalize the Synthesis Prompt building assignment. Remember that this is due today! It's very easy, just a lot of copying and pasting.
Outlines have been returned with feedback! The biggest thing that I saw across the board were big blocks of quotations and lacking commentary in places. Be sure that the line of reasoning is clear throughout the assertions, argument, and the commentary. It's got to line up. Remember that part of the process of writing will involve a resubmission of the outline. If it's missing, I need it immediately. Sign up for your conference and be ready for workshop days across the coming classes.
English 10
Today we took our time to finish Escape from Sobibor - a true story of the only successful prisoner revolt during World War 2 in a death camp. It's only because of the survivors that we know what happened. I look forward to reviewing your viewing guides and getting those back to you soon.
Be aware that we're finishing the unit soon. Next class we'll take a look at a short story as we consider reactions to tragedies. The week following will be our week to begin our final projects, tie up loose ends, and begin to move on to Latin America (our next unit of the year). If you haven't yet taken your test from the first part of the unit, you'll need to do that ASAP to avoid a missing score. Test corrections will happen next class.
