We read at least 15 pages of our USSR books. Several people have already finished their first book and written their creative response. If you need a response sheet, please let me know.
We added the next two words to our list: mollify and contempt.
We did a practice quiz on the first 6 words of our list.
Today's lesson was extremely crucial to paragraph writing.
HOW TO CITE!!
If you were absent, be sure to call your homework buddy to discuss the work and pick up the handouts from me tomorrow.
Test Tomorrow: How to cite description and speech, how to omit sections, how to cite long passages, how to integrate an opinion and a quote,
I will give you a quotation, an author and a page number. You will add the opinion to the quotation and cite it correctly.
Example:
hid under the bush Garner 55
Response: When Johnny runs from his father and "[hides] under the bush" (Garner 55), he clearly demonstrates his revulsion toward his father.
or
Johnny's fear of his father is revealed when he "hid under the bush" (Garner 52).
Speech: I'm not going to Scouts anymore Garner 52
When Johnny exclaims that he is " ' ...not going to Scouts anymore' " (Garner 52), his contempt is evident.
Study the sheet I gave you entitled how to cite.
I really appreciate how willingly you worked today. There was a lot to learn and we worked quickly but by participating and discussing the examples with your partner, you make learning fun.
Bonus Question: How do you cite a passage that is more than three of your own lines?
or
What is formal diction?
or
Why do we use present tense of the verb in literary paragraphs?
Good luck on tomorrow's test.
After the test, we will prepare our notes for the paragraph.
