Daily Flow 03.23

Daily Flow 03.23

Our opening today will deal with writing the two sentences everyone has been asked to write and the end of both readings related to researching questions about the Amistad. We will look at two example summaries, discuss our observations, and I will give everyone a handout titled "Tips for Two End-of-Reading Sentences." 

Everyone will have 15-20 minutes to work on their independent reading. Booktalks will begin the week before April break (week of April 6).

In the second half of class, everyone will be expected to get as close as they can to finishing scanning, reading, and responding to their two articles related to research about the Amistad. I hope to conclude class by giving everyone this "Planning your Argument" organizer so we can begin Wednesday's class with a discussion of claims, evidence, and warrants.
