Winter -white Wednesday!

**Please remember our "Poets' Coffee Shop" on Friday! Bring a packet of hot chocolate and your poem :)

P. 1,4: Students worked on the conclusion of their argument paper today. I reminded them that this is the a critical part of the writing because it is the last words the reader will process about their argument. They have learned the terms ethos, logos, and pathos and used them in their writing.
H/W: Finish the prewrite for your conclusion. Take another look at your body paragraph and see if it needs fine-tuning. Do you have three reasons that are followed by evidence and explanation?

P. 2,5,6: Periods 2 and 6 (already done in p.5) shared the group results of their plot line points for "Tell- Tale Heart." A few different ideas about the climax of the story because there are so many suspenseful points! We then took a look at the softer side of Poe, in one of his poems, of course. We analyzed as a group and then tomorrow students will do an artistic rendering of the analysis.
H/W: Period 5 - Red Glass chpt 20
H/W: P. 2,6: Novel questions tomorrow.

See you later!
