Feb 15

Today we did quiz on terms #2. Some people came in to get caught up on last week's quiz or to rewrite it. Next Thursday's quiz terms were handed out. There will be a quiz on these terms next Thursday. All the terms are on my website under HANDOUTS>terms. Look for #3.
Groups worked on finishing their analysis of Dickens' letter. We had our discussion about the techniques used etc. The next assignment is to write a response to Mr. Dickens and use at least 5 persuasive techniques in the body. If your group has 3 members then the response will have 3 paragraphs. If the group has 4 members, then the response will have 4 paragraphs. You will work together on Monday to author and format your response. Homework: have an outline, notes, rough paragraph, web etc. with your ideas ready to contribute to the group on Monday. You may respond supportively or opposingly as your group wishes. Rubrics and and outline for this response were also handed out on Thursday. These are posted on the website if you weren't the person who took it home. Yesterday's bonus is good until Monday. Have a nice long weekend.
