Read the argument "Let Teenagers Try Adulthood"; then look at the powerpoint. We are deconstructing the argument; instructions are on the powerpoint. Write your answers on the tree.

From talk radio to television shows, from popular magazines to Web pages, ordinary citizens, political figures, and entertainers express their opinions on a wide range of topics. Are these opinions worthwhile? Does the expression of such opinions foster democratic values?


Assert a position: Write a claim statement responding to the prompt.


Write three reasons why you take the position that you do. These three reasons should be sentences that you would use as the foundation of your topic sentences.


Due tomorrow: 1 claim statement in which you assert your position;  then, 3 sentences, each stating one reason why you hold the position that you do.

We reviewed the sentence combining worksheet from Friday and then reviewed the structure of an argument.


For homework, students wrote their own sentences:
3 sentences with a participial phrase in the beginning of them.
3 sentences with a participial phrase after the noun it describes.
3 sentences with complimentary appositive about your classmates.
3 sentences with the adverb clause in the beginning of the sentence.
3 sentences with the adverb clause at the end of the sentence.
You may turn these in through GC if you were out.


The PowerPoint is attached.

Write your timed writing in your handwriting.

We are brainstorming and jot-listing ideas for argument essays. It's group work, but you can do #s 1-3. Look at the prompt on slide 5 in the PowerPoint.

Using the words from your vocabulary notebook, create a vocabulary quiz based on the format provided. Do NOT repeat any of the words in #1-20; use 10 for definitions and 10 for sentences. 


Then create a 2nd document and create a key for the quiz. Submit both documents.

Read the literary essay that you are assigned.
Then, create a slide show to share with your group.


For your Google Slides, use this format:


Slide
1:
“Title of your essay” and the author.







Slide
2: Write a 1-2 paragraph summary of your essay.






Slide
3: Bullet 5 main points of the essay.






Slide
4: Choose 3 quotes that are significant (can be related to the main points or
not.)

Submit the timed writing that you want scored. Write the score that you think you deserve at the top of the essay.

Look at slides 29-30 of the Success Criteria. Respond to each criteria and submit it by tomorrow's class time.

DOUBLE-SPACE YOUR PARAGRAPHS! YES, I'M YELLING THIS!

Return to the Argument Powerpoint where the topics from old tests occur (slides 9-10). Choose one topic and create a thesis, 1 topic sentence, and then one piece of evidence. If you put it all together, it would be a portion of a paragraph.

A traditional definition of "values" is beliefs that are important to a person; values are "standards by which people order their lives and make their choices." Look back over pages 3-25. Some of the Walls family values are stated explicitly; others can be inferred by their actions. As you look back over the pages, identify a "value," whether stated explicitly or implicitly and write it down. Then provide the page #  of where you found the value.


For example:
Neglect/Independence: Jeannette cooking hot dogs (3) & the doctors and nurses asking Jeannette questions (10)

If you were out yesterday and will not be here for the rest of the week, please email me [email protected]. I need to get our book, The Glass Castle, to you.


 If I do not hear from you, I am assuming that you have bought your copy of The Glass Castle, by Jeannette Walls. NOT HAVING THE BOOK AND NOT RESPONDING WILL NOT EXEMPT YOU FROM OUR ASSIGNMENTS MOVING FORWARD. You will still be expected to tune in for class each day and to keep up with our assignments in a timely manner.

I have added a link to each of our classes in Google Classroom. 


Class Times:
2:1: 10:00
3:1 11:40
3:2: 12:35
4:1: 2:00
4:2 2:48


Please answer: I understand the expectations of meeting each day at our designated class time, completing and turning in my assignments on time, and using the Meet Link at the top of each Google Classroom page.

We will be having graded discussions over the next two days. Here are the claims/questions for you to respond to. ALL answers must be backed up with evidence from the text to support. If you are not going to be in class for the next two days, email me to arrange a time that we can have a discussion mono y mono. We can link through Google Meet.

Login to My AP classroom and join our class using the codes provided in the handout. Then, you should find the assignments from Unit 1 that I have assigned, both videos and passages with questions.

Whatever you don't finish, finish for homework.

Read over the attached Powerpoint. Then choose two claims (any slide, don't worry about it being from another class). Then for each claim, find three pieces of evidence (quotes) to support each claim. Include the page number. WRITE THE CLAIM AND THE EVIDENCE DOWN ON A PIECE OF PAPER. DO NOT SUBMIT THROUGH GOOGLE.

Read and annotate the article, paying particular attention to the following:
Highlight and label contrasts that you find throughout the essay;
 Pay attention to syntax: find a good example of parallel structure and anaphora and label them as such;
Mark and label where you think there is a major shift in the essay, where you think it changes focus or direction.
Lastly, create a Google Slides presentation where you:
State the purpose of the article in one sentence on one slide;
Create 4 more slides, where you copy 4 quotes (1 per slide) that you find meaningful. Boys, I am aware that this speech is intended for a female audience, but you can substitute the idea of female student, with just "student." :)
You will have a total of 5 slides and a fantastic time in creating it.

Write 1 body paragraph for a rhetorical analysis essay. You should read through the handout below to explain how a rhetorical essay is written and how a body paragraph is set up. Use this topic sentence to begin your paragraph. Your entire paragraph will work to prove this topic sentence. You're not just finding evidence (quotes) and plopping them in. You are analyzing that evidence. Again, read the handout.


Topic sentence: Using
engaging syntax and extended metaphor, Alexie explains the reason he came to
love reading and its influence in how he views the world. 



Double space. Titles of essays are in quotation marks.
