English 10 A

If you were away today, be sure to hand in your Alyson Rowe response. Define and write sentences for the next two words on our list, disapprobation and dispensation. Read your USSR book for at least 15 minutes and pick up the study package from me or copy it from a friend. Be sure to read through the sample C section compositions.

Homework: Write a complete composition on any of the prompts on the handout. Be sure to follow the criteria and re-read the samples several times in order to fnd a writing style and scenario that you can rely on. Think--examples, good style, engaging topic. Keep the topic in mind but you do not have to connect directly to the topic, nor must you agree with the topic. This section is testing your ability to write a multi-paragraph sample in any combination of descriptive, narrative, expository or persuasive style. If you neglect to do a minimum of 3 paragraphs, you are docked on letter grade.

Bring in a double-spaced copy for peer comments.
We'll also review the literary terms and section B, the synthesis essay next class. Read through the samples and be sure to visit the website. Google BC provincial exams. Try the e-exams listed there, too.
