Okay, I realize I've fallen behind. It's time to get myself re-acquainted with our blog. Here we go for the week:
Monday -
Review the TEA expository essay rubric in class. Students will re-create this rubric using their own words as homework.
Tuesday -
Students will read two expository essays in class. Using guided reading, students will identify the primary components of expository essays and discover what development of supporting ideas really is. We will apply the students' knowledge of the rubric to each of the essays read in class. For homework, students will read and label one additional essay and assess their "Honesty" essay based on the rubric to discover their own weaknesses.
Wednesday -
As a class, we will review the basic outline format and use it to outline the essays read in class yesterday. We will then use the reverse outlinning method to help students identify irrelevant details and organizational faux pas in their own writing. For homework, students will revise their essays to improve on their weaknesses.
Thursday -
Students will read "Hip Hop" as a class, stopping intermittently to discuss key ideas. For homework, students will prepare a short response for the selection.
Friday -
Using "Hip Hop" as a director, students will complete an in-class, timed expository writing.
