Today’s update and another link to practice quote embedding

Hi all,

Here is more practice with embedding quotes: Review/examples/practice/answer key

Today, you were working in teams mapping the formatting of the essays we have been reading. (We are doing so to ‘reverse design’ our own essay's structure.) We will revisit and share these next block.

Next, we will share our maps and discuss the literary/rhetorical devices used and their effects.

We are/will begin the pre-writing phase for your own essays. I will go over the rubric as well:Essay Rubric

I will return your Theme statements next class. We will review (once again) the elements/rubric for writing theme statements.

Please review the due dates in the October 23rd post.

Thank you for your diligent team work today.

Ms.S
