This week we will continue the writing unit with a look at alternative modes of expressing a "thesis" or "claim." The spoken word poetry, storytelling, TEDtalk, and commercials we'll view will help to show us that thesis writing isn't necessarily always an essay with a thesis statement conveniently located in the intro paragraph.
Keep in mind that this is heading toward your own thesis-driven piece so be thinking about what you want to say and how you want to say it. RIR requirement this week: 2 hrs We're a couple weeks into Q3 and well into our writing unit.
This week we'll be finishing up our Teen Voice project and get you ready to write the final piece. Mon - Wed we'll continue with some more mentor text analysis and journal writings. Thurs we will discuss the Teen Voice final piece. This week's Independent Reading goal is 2 hrs+. Many of you have challenging goals for semester 2 so keep that pace up! |
