English I Honors students worked today on planning their second major Schaffer paragraph, this time on “Thank You, Ma’am” and its use of indirect characterization.

English 8 Strategies students continued with the Schaffer model, examining in depth the example we pieced together yesterday.

In creative writing, after some initial writing, I decided we needed to solve a problem that I didn’t realize existed: lack of knowledge about other students. If we’re going to be working together this year to help each other with our writing, we need at least to know whom we’re talking to, so we did an introduction exercise. Not in the lesson plans, but critical nonetheless.

Homework

  • English I Honors: 
    • students who received a 100 on the paragraph about  “The Most Dangerous Game,” please post it at this forum for all to see; if you didn’t get a perfect score, please check this forum regularly for examples for your edification;
    • the second Schaffer paragraph, which is on “Thank You, Ma’am,” will be due Monday, so students should be working on it in the meantime.
