Today's lesson and Homework

Hi 12s,

Today we are working looking at the basic structure for an essay. This is largely review.
For today's class you were to review the links below to prepare.

Today you:

•  reviewed introductory paragraphs and created one
• reviewed paragraph/essay structure
• viewed  and discussed the video clip provided below(see links on last post)

Your next class is 5 days away. In that time you will create an outline for the essay you have introduced today.

Here are two links to clarify outline limits:outline sample #1, Outline sample#2

You are free to bring your typed/elaborated introduction to class for the in-class write but your outline must be limited to 

point form as seen in the two examples above.  

Due Sept. 26th : Essay outline (very limited text) and introduction 

Sept. 26th : Write in-class essay based on your outline from home (Quiz weight). 

Rubric for marking is available for pick up today and tomorrow until I manage to share it here. : )

Remember, you are being assessed on form  and written skill less so than on content. The video is meant to offer a

 jumping off point for your essay. See the class notes link to review basic the paragraph structure notes we did last class.

If you missed today or if you see a classmate who missed today, please have them come see me Thursday (tomorrow)
BEFORE school to clarify. I am in meetings most of the next two days and can offer only tomorrow morning for those who need to catch up.

Thanks all,

Ms. S
