Orange Day

COLLEGE PREP
1. Collect "Lake" and any other stories you may have!
2. Assign paper that is due on Thursday: "CS Lewis once said that 'we read because we want to know we are not alone.'" Apply this quote to a story we have read during our short story unit. The FCA for this paper is INTRODUCTIONS
3. Writing introductions lesson....we learned all about backstory, thesis statement, etc. There were some handouts to go along with this, so get them if you missed. We modeled some intros and focused on creating good backstory. Pay extra attention to your introduction when you hand in your paper on Thursday

HONORS ENGLISH
1. College essay: Revisit "magic 3," hyphenated modifier, and lead, and share how they were integrated into your "clothes" essay....swop papers with a neighbor to do shoes and socks for their essay....begin reading sample essays and provide feedback on them (we only got to the one by Ambar Espinoza today)...I collected the essay and it will be graded as one of your two "test" grades for this unit.

3. Reminder of VOCAB TEST THURSDAY
4. Paper topic is this: "CS Lewis once said that 'we read because we want to know we are not alone."" Apply this to a story we have read during this short story unit. (this is not DUE next class....but, rather, you should bring your computer so we can work on them in class!)
5. The focus correction area for this paper is going to be a strong introduction....we spent time going over the process of writing good intros with 3-5 sentences, backstory, thesis statement, etc.
6. For next class, you should attempt writing an INTRO for your paper. That is all.
