February 6th WEDNESDAY
Today we corrected last night's homework for a Mastery Grade.
If you still have questions about Compound or Complex sentences, please see me for extra help at lunch or homeroom time.
Next we discussed the 8-10 sentence paragraph about survival as one of the themes of The Big Wave. I allowed you to critique classmates work, deciding how to properly answer the question and write a well-focused essay with a clear thesis, details to support and a proper conclusion.
Homework:
Although survival was one of the themes of Pearl S. Buck's novel, there were others as well. We brainstormed other themes on the board. Tonight, you are to choose one and use the elements of good writing we discussed to write a short, 8-10 sentence essay (you may go over if you'd like) about the theme you chose. Remember to have a clear focus with a sound thesis, details to support and a proper conclusion. TYPE YOUR RESPONSE and have it for class tomorrow. Use proper MLA heading for your paper.

Today we corrected the assignment from the weekend.
Next you took a test over compound/complex sentences.
When you finished your test you were to take out the pre-write we did on survival. You could make changes/additions to your writing. Please bring this pre-write to class tomorrow!
Finally, for homework:
After reading The Big Wave (which you should have finished last week), on a separate sheet of paper, write a short 8-10 sentence paragraph discussing why survival is one of the themes of the book. You can choose to type it if you want, but it is not mandatory.
