English 1H THS

Today we worked on writing an outline for our essay. The rough draft is due on Monday.

Today we turned in the thesis statement and went over some of the expectations. Then we discussed TKAM and 6th period also worked on a dialectical journal.  Homework is to complete the first page of the essay packet.

Today we collected the homework for chapter 11 and then we worked in our groups applying TWIST to the various essay prompts. We shared what we came up with and then we talked about the homework which is to type out a thesis statement in MLA format for your essay.

I was absent on Friday so there is no blog. Apparently my sub didn’t show up so different teachers covered for me. All went well. You were in capable hands. Friday we read chapter 10 in class and turned in the homework (Chapter 9). Period 5 was given the essay prompt but not Period 6. Today we discussed the essay prompt in both classes and then were put into groups and applying TWIST to each of the essay questions. Tomorrow we will share with the rest of the class. Homework is chapter 11 question in TKAM.

Today we took notes on writing an essay and transitions. Then we discussed TKAM. After that I passed out the homework which was Chapter 9 and chapter 9 questions. See me if you need a copy.

Today we presented practice thesis statements and examples and then reviewed TKAM. Homework is to read chapter 8 and answer questions.

TWIST  Today we took notes on TWIST, which is an approach to writing a thesis statement. After that, we got into groups and created a thesis statement focusing on one of the elements in TWIST. We also had to share some examples from the Eudora Welty piece. Our homework is to read, annotate, and answer questions for TKAM chapter 7. See me if you need a copy.

Today we wrote a practice introduction using the short passage by Eudora Welty. We practiced the three part process as well. Our homework tonight is to read chapter 6 in TKAM and answer the questions on the worksheet.
