Practice: Literary Para. Writing (without looking at last day's blog, fill in the following)
How to write a literary paragraph:
- Thesis plus author and title
While you were editing today, we focused on a few items:
Verb tense (present)
Citing page numbers and using quotation marks properly
Using synonyms for words or expressions used throughout the paragraph.
Next day, we'll go over the literary must haves list and edit the paragraphs (peer editing).
Start reviewing daily.
If you were away today, write the paragraph to prove the thesis you have created about the father. Double space it so we can edit. Make sure it has at least 10 sentences and includes two transitions.
I handed out a sheet on transitions and a sheet reviewing how to cite.
Homework for Monday:
Each student chose a goal for USSR--some students plan to finish a book. Other students chose 80 to 100 pages. Choose a goal, meet the goal, and let me know how many pages you read.
I'll attach the USSR response form below so you can copy and paste it into word and then you'll have them at home. I lost some formatting below. The responses need to be worthy paragraphs. Thanks.
Have a good weekend.
