9th Grade - Today was the last day to develop a full draft of the Antigone essay in class. I provided students with a couple of example paragraphs to review before writing their own. Basically, the two example paragraphs I used to model with the class broke the writing down sentence by sentence (i.e. Topic Sentence, Concrete Detail 1, Commentary 1).
The first sample provided was very a very basic model, and is what students need to be matching at the absolute minimum.
The second example used all the same information as the first, but incorporated the quotes and evidence into the commentary, creating a much better flow. The goal would be for most students to develop most paragraphs along these lines.
For those that missed class, extra copies are available in my room.
HOMEWORK - Full rough draft ready to be typed tomorrow.
10th Grade - Today was the last day to develop any needed writing/project work for the TKAM creative writing assessment. Students could either be working on the physical part of their projects, or writing the connecting pieces. Similar to the freshmen, I provided a model connection example, using the song we listened to in class last week.
Students had the full class period to work on these projects, and they are due at the beginning of class on Wednesday, 3/16. This deadline has been set for some time, so there is NO extension past this date. If you are absent, IT IS STILL DUE AT THE BEGINNING OF CLASS.
Freshmen - you are registering for next year's classes tomorrow.
Sophomores - you are registering for next year's classes Wednesday.
