English 8 students began creating a model of text annotation that will serve as the goal for the rest of the year, combining the work with our kindness review for the ROCK mini-unit we’re working through this week.

English I students worked with the Schaffer model for the first time, seeing that it is, in fact, not all that difficult at all. Students created the following examples:

Third Period

TS Schaffer will make it much easier to write.
CD Helps with planning
CM Focus on ideas not organization
CM Can freely move about paragraph while planning
CD Helps with organization
CM (Has a job)
CM Each ____has own spot
CD Tells you what to write next
CM Each sentence has job
CM Know job = know what next

Fourth Period

TS Schaffer will make it easier to write.
CD Help with planning
CM Separates content from organization
CM Can move freely between ideas
CD organized
CM The model contains order of sentences
CM (Know what the order is)
CD Help you know what to write
CM Each sentence = job
CM Know what job it has to do

Afterward, students began working on their first Schaffer paragraphs with a partner.

Homework

  • English 8 Studies: none.
  • English I Honors: complete one whole chunk from today’s planning by yourself. (If you and your partner completed everything in class, create another chunk — CD/CM/CM — for additional practice.)
