Objective:  I can rewrite Body Paragraphs 1 and 2 by using Sample B and C from yesterday’s lesson as exemplars for Organization and Evidence/Reasoning.  I can complete the bucket organizer for my essay by matching the evidence from my double-entry journals and the book to each reason or bucket.

BW:  Reread Sample C from yesterday’s lesson.  Highlight words or phrases that suggest the context of each example.

Activities:

  1.  Share Out:  Identify words that were selected for evidence/reasoning of the first main point.  Second main point?  How did the writer provide more depth of reasoning by using the context?
  2. Share Out:  What is the basic structure of Sample B from yesterday’s lesson?
  3. Independent Study:  Use your additional knowledge about organization and evidence/reasoning along with my notes to rewrite Body Paragraphs 1 and 2.
  4. Independent Study:  Complete the Bucket Organizer for your essay by matching 3 quotes/pages for each bucket.  This will be part of the overall summative assessment.
  5. HW:  Complete the Bucket Organizer assignment to be submitted at the beginning of tomorrow’s class.
  6. Reminder:  If you have not completed both rewrites of body paragraphs 1 and 2, you are behind in your work.  Tutoring for the essay is available today after school if you need help or have fallen behind.  This is not a take-home essay.
