Today all students became editors for their peers, and students had a final peer edit of their Teen Activist essay. It is ok if you only had time for one edit. Look at the goals and the areas that were not highlighted to revise your paper.
After that, most classes met as a whole group and we discussed the upcoming Trail of Research for student Informational Books. Now that you have a topic of interest, students will decide in small groups their possible Trails of Research. You want the chapters to be focused, to flow, and to be of high interest. Getting to that point is a process!
- H/W:
- Revise your paper according to your editor's suggestions. If you want you may turn it in to Canvas, and if not we will do it in class. Please make sure you also have it in your LA turn-in folder.
- Periods 2, 3, and 6: Create a Trail of Research for your topic in your composition book. The format is this:
1. Write your first chosen topic (that you wrote on the index card)
2. Write the activist
3. Answer: What is the most important idea to teach about this activist? What was their
activist platform?
4. How did they expose the problem? How did he/she make the public aware of the
problem?
5. How did the public respond? How was the problem solved?
Thank you! See you tomorrow!
