January 25

Humanities 8

Today after silent reading, we did a practice test in preparation of our test tomorrow.  The remainder of the class was spent reviewing or finishing off the lyrics assignment.  

Poetry test: tomorrow!!

English 10 (H block)

Today after silent reading, we discussed different ideas for setting up our essays comparing the 2 poems Richard Cory and Roller Skate Man.  

body paragraph 1- similarities //  poem A   //  1st point of comparison
body paragraph 2- differences //  poem B   //  2nd point of comparison
body paragraph 3- n/a             // comparison  // 3rd point of comparison

It was emphasized that an outline is written in point form!!

We also discussed the two main focus points for this essay which are:  clarity and support.  We discussed how to provide support and when it would be appropriate.  The remainder of the class was provided to students as a work period to complete an outline and rough draft.  Completing a rough draft for homework was assigned .  Next class will be for editing and publishing a final draft.
