How to Make A Theme Paragraph Work-Sandwich:
- The revised, finalized copy of the Theme Paragraph goes on top.
- The Peer Review Sheet (completed) goes in the middle.
- The rough draft goes on the bottom
- Staple it all together, and Boom!
- That's a sandwich. Give it to Tidyman.
And Then...
Students received today a document called the
along with instructions about placing it in the Classwork Composition Notebook, as well as responding to the instructions.
Written responses on the chosen 3 prompts were to be recorded in the Classwork Notebook as well.
Reviewing the 10 statements of opinion (I was exceptionally clear that I was not "teaching" these statements as "facts"), even the most casual of readers will be quick to notice that they were written in order to ignite personal, possibly divisive, personal response. It should come as no surprise that I invited my students to discuss their thoughts on certain of the prompts about which they felt most strongly. Note: This discussion was not a Speaking & Listening grade, due to the limited exposure time to the material as well as the sensitive and personal nature of the content. It was an invitation to share thoughts.
HW For Long Weekend:
- Just get a copy of Speak, if you haven't already. You don't have to begin reading until next week.
- Other than that, enjoy yourself. Get some rest. Maybe read something you're interested in
- Like this, for example, which I'm reading. Not like you care.
