Monday Oct 18, 2010

Today we reviewed the components of an essay and what needs to be included.  We went through the format of and organization of a five paragraph essay (no, not ALL essays are five paragraphs).  Each student needed to isolate their thesis and get going on an outline (blue sheet).  Topics/thesis statements should be chosen and written at this stage.

We also reviewed the four types of essays and how to order ideas within an essay.

Reader's Workshop #2 is Monday the 25th...make sure you have a book.

Writing Unit test is coming.

Interims are Monday...attendance and missing assignments will be noted.  Not sure if you're missing something?  See Ms. R asap!  Missing something?  Do something about it (hand it in) or suffer the consequences.
