Happy Tuesday!

**Don't forget hot chocolate packet and poems for Friday!

I had hard-working students today! Thank you for your attention and focus.

P. 1,4: We went to the computer lab to type the body paragraph of the argument paper. Students need to consistently remember that "evidence" means a direct quote and citation (in parentheses). In this paragraph, each reason was followed by evidence and then an explanation. This was done three times, right?
H/W: Take a look at your body paragraph, and then get out your transition list and see where they can be inserted. This will keep your paper from sounding like a robot wrote it! Transitions connect ideas and help your writing flow.

P. 2,6: Today students created a plot line for "Tell Tale Heart" in groups on the big boards (until we ran out of them!) They will present these tomorrow. Then they went to the computer lab to work on their novel study "culture" questions, which are due Thurs. This will lead to a Socratic.
H/W: Novel questions Thurs.

P. 5 Today students created a plot line for "Tell Tale Heart" in groups on the big boards (until we ran out of them!) They will present these tomorrow. After that we had a quick write and discussion about the ways cultures perceive each other, using Red Glass as support.
H/W: Chpt 20 Red Glass

See you tomorrow!
