Daily Flow 03.31
Introductions take two.
At the start of today's class we will take stock of where everyone is in the development of the argumentative essay. Everyone will be asked to begin an outline with whatever evidence has been gathered from readings thus far. Together, we will review strategies for writing compelling introductions for arguments, starting by looking at my example introduction. After reviewing several different formats for writing introductions, everyone will work on drafting their own introduction - this will be what you hand in at the end of today's class.
Work on introductions will flow into independent reading. I will continue to conference with individuals about independent reading and the upcoming Book Talk assignment.
In the last third of class, we will split the group in half. One side of the room will work on setting up their argumentative essay in Google Drive using the Style Sheet as a guide. The other side of the room will continue drafting introductions and work on any incomplete readings or outlines.
Homework: Finish any reading our outlining of your argumentative essay that is not complete; independent reading.
