Yeesh! Once again, we did not manage to get to that essay. Sorry. Perhaps next day, I will plan for you to review the essay in groups - you can discuss what you see as the claims, the warrants, the counterarguments, etc.
Today we had a great presentation from Mrs. Berry about citations. Here are a couple of links she sent - one for getting your essay marked, PaperRater, and another for detecting plagiarism, Plagiarisma.
Then, we read an article for teachers by Renee Shea, one esteemed author of our textbook. She explains different approaches to writing the persuasive essay. Hopefully this will be of help to you while facing the AP exam.
As mentioned, I will be absent on Thursday, but will be in the school. Be good - that goes without saying - the last TOC wrote, "These students (you) just teach themselves!" How nice!
Homework: write the introduction and thesis for the persuasive essay I assigned (on one of the essays we have read) - the white handout with four choices on it, not the pink AP prompt. Get it? Hope so.
Have a great week!
