This week, you have time to work on your ATDPTI essays, projects (one due on 2/19, the other on 2/24), or JMUN resolution (due Friday).
Periods 3 and 4:
FOR THE NEXT THREE WEEKS...
We are committing ourselves to writer’s workshop
Each week, you will explore and publish one piece of writing.
Using mentor texts for inspiration, you will analyze texts prior to drafting.
THE ROUTINE:
Read, analyze, and annotate the text. Determine how the mentor is useful. As yourself: how can I write like this?
Using the mentor text(s) as an anchor, draft your “inspired-by” piece of writing.
Workshop your writing using writing response groups.
Revise with purpose and guidance..
Publish and share your writing.
EXPECTATIONS:
Everybody writes. This is an opportunity to try something, low-stakes, and use your VOICE.
You work EVERYDAY. This is classwork - don’t waste time. There’s no room to procrastinate.
Revise your draft. You can’t just submit a first, untouched draft.
Oh - and no computers.
Today in class:
You will be given one of a set of mentor texts. (Click here to access the texts. Note: we discussed This is Five, Six, Ten, and 38).
Read it once. (3 minutes)
Read it a second time with pen, pencil, and/or a highlighter in hand (5-7 minutes)
Annotate: what do you notice the author doing? Name the move. (in the same 5-7 minutes)
You will be grouped with people with the same mentor to discuss your observations.
Come to class tomorrow, ready to write, knowing which age you will write about (either one from your past, or your present age).
Period 6:
Today, we are going to switch gears to a different type of text... film!
You will be watching an EdPuzzle about the language of film. Be prepared to answer some questions along the way. (This is found on Google Classroom).
Then, you will put your new knowledge of film to use by creating a storyboard for "The Cask of Amontillado" (either alone or with a partner). Use what you learned in the video, along with the notes I will pass out.
