Today we're all in somewhat different places in the writing process. We'll meet back up on Monday, but for today, take a look at what we're doing according to your period.
Period 1: We must take the Survey we were unable to take yesterday. When you finish, you may work on your essay.
Period 2: On Wednesday you were introduced to the essay prompt and we worked on the mood paragraph. Today, your task is to write other two body paragraphs. On Monday we are moving on to the introduction and conclusion.
Period 4/7:
You should be done, or almost done with your three body paragraphs. If you are still working on body paragraphs, catch up today.
- Use the evidence that we collected to help you.
- Use the sentence frames (pictured below and on the wall) to help guide you. Watch the mood paragraph tutorial video if you are stuck.
- If you are DONE with your paragraphs on theme, mood, and irony ask a partner to read them. (Exchange papers by "sharing" your Google Docs with each other. Use "Suggesting" mode and comments. I will show you if you aren't sure how to do this.)
- If you are ready to tackle an introduction I am giving you a list not a lesson.
- The names of the authors and the titles of their work.
- A brief summary (one sentence) of the gist of each creation, text or film.
- A thesis statement that explains how the author and director use similar or different techniques to create the irony, moods and themes in their works.
