Objective:  I can write reflections of three more scenes in the movie by following the two-step process, consulting with my elbow partner, and answering the given question in a paragraph with examples underlined.

BW:  Read the student sample of a counterargument/rebuttal of the cell phone essay.  Write down the transition sentence in your notebook.  In addition, survey the student sample of a bucket organizer on the back and write a sentence that aptly describes it.

Activities:

  1.  Share Out:  What is the transition sentence?  Could the student have developed the counterargument evidence? How?  Can you match some evidence in the reasoning with the quote or paraphrase for each main point?  What do you notice about the bucket organizer?  Is there evidence of student planning?
  2. Reflection #5:  Treelore’s death
  3. Reflection #6:  Hilly’s Commodes
  4. Reflection #7:  Medgar Ever’s Sequence
  5. Independent Study:  After reading notes on my essay and taking into consideration the discussion about student samples, answer these questions:  How can I improve for next week’s argumentative on-demand essay?
