Unit #2 is underway and students will notice a shift from examining what the text says to how the texts says it. As we prepare students for their ultimate goal of being able to write a rhetorical analysis of an essay, Language Arts 3 will begin to hone the skills of describing the features of the author’s craft: genre, tone, imagery, format, organization, features, etc. Writing is an art – and this card-marking period, students will take time to appreciate the choices author’s make while writing and how those choices contribute to our understanding of what the text says.
Looking forward to sharing our progress with you at Parent Teacher Conferences next Monday (10/30) and Wednesday (11/01) from 4pm – 7pm.
