There were some good vibrations in English today! We really got down to some foundational learning, although some of you seemed quite floored by the thought of Friday's sentence test. We covered some new material today: terms related to argumentation, including shaky reasoning, also known as logical fallacy. I will drop a work sheet or two on you next day to help you get an intellectual hold on these new terms. I am giving you these terms so you can rock the upcoming multiple choice test on 3 of the 4 essays you have covered in your groups. Further, you need to know how to avoid fallacious reasoning in order to sway your readers when you write the upcoming persuasive essays. Finally, I would like to thank Spencer for the student's perspective on English 12 AP, which was quite moving. Also, Megan and Jessie provided great coverage for my AP booth in the library - Jessie even dropped by at lunch.
That about covers it - must rock n' roll.
Homework:
- Grade 8/ 12 sentence test on Friday (fragments, run-ons, simple, compound, and complex sentences).
- Presentations; be ready to shake things up on Tuesday.
Note: please do not read this without attending to my punny writing. (That's pun -ny, not puny.)
