Selection test and diction
Essential Questions
- English I Honors: What is diction, and how can I improve my mine?
- English Strategies: How well do I understand the last selection?
- English Studies: How well do I understand the last selection?
Second period worked on improving their diction in their memoirs, specifically focusing on creating more specific nouns and verbs. I spoke individually with several students about their drafts and ways to improve it. The class is slowly coming to realize that writing is a long, time-consuming process.
First, fourth, and sixth periods had a selection test on the excerpt from I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. We took a little time to study, took the test, then went over it at the end. Add to that the starter and that pretty much wrapped up our day.
Homework
- Second period:
- fourth draft of memoir;
- ten synonyms for “go”, “say”, and “think”.
- First, fourth, and sixth periods: none.
