In-class Essay Writing

You should get a book out and read!

Yesterday you received two poems and a graphic organizer.

Today you're going to get the prompt for your in-class writing. You will be comparing the poems!

Use your graphic organizer to help you with this process.

You have the whole period. If you are absent, you need to arrange a time do the writing after school.

In-Class Writing Preparations

Our goal: we will prepare for an in-class essay. You will be writing it tomorrow.

Over the past week, you've been writing an essay comparing a story and a film. Thank you for your hard work in this process. Your essays are now locked for grading. You will get an e-mail when it is graded.

Today, we are preparing for your comparative analysis on-demand in-class written assessment. (Say that five times fast.)

With your partner you will be reading and analyzing two poems. Begin to apply the same skills you used for the Poe/Laughton essay to these poems. Gather evidence, be specific, identify techniques, etc.) Tomorrow you will be writing about them. If you are absent today send me an email and ask for the poems. It's the only way you're going to get to see them ahead of time.
