Agenda, February 17

If you were absent yesterday ...  

• Begin writing essay

Today's Learning Targets:

• I can track how characters change over the course of a novel.
• I can write a convincing claim.
• I can write well-developed body paragraphs.
• I can properly punctuate a quotation.

Agenda:

1. Blending quotes review
2. Introduction / Conclusion Review
3. Model sentence: Steinbeck writes, "..." (17).
4. Drafting time: Listening to music is okay. Texting is NOT. Set your music on shuffle and DO NOT touch your phone while writing. Using a phone during an Essential Skills Work Sample results in a referral and an automatic zero on the assignment.
5. When you are ready to begin typing, go to your student e-mail and open the file "OMAM Work Sample." You can only work on this file in class.
