First and second periods were at the Donaldson Career Center for the annual eighth grade tour. They had an opportunity to see in person some of the career development opportunities available at Donaldson.

Fifth period worked on the final essay, a review of Nightjohn. We’ll be using the Schaffer model to organize and write it, and students had some questions about how to write the commentary for such an essay, so we created a model chunk together.

Notes from fifth period

We will continue working on this T

Homework

First and fifth periods: continue working on Nightjohn review.

Second and fourth periods: complete yesterday’s homework as needed. Second period: be aware that commentary is not an element or detail from the text or film. If both your concrete detail and your commentary are from the film or epic, you’re writing summary, not analysis.
