WNB: Outside entry
We visited the library during independent reading time today. I reminded students that they need to read a nonfiction book of at least 200 pages before the end of the 9 weeks. They'll be writing about it on their midterm.
We will have a notebook check Friday. Students who have been absent should check the blog for missing entries.
We continued our discussion of argument and persuasion. Students practiced writing a claim statement that could serve as the anchor for a persuasive essay. We then read Anna Quindlen's commencement speech and looked for examples of repetition, parallelism, analogy, and allusion. Since I will be absent tomorrow morning, we will finish this work on Friday.
