Today we did step 5 of the DOG and spent a little time talking about the parts of a sentence diagram. Then we passed back some graded work and organized our binders. Students were given no new assignments today, but a chance to “catch-up” on this week’s work and were asked to make sure they had completed the following: ~Read the entire Directions sheet about the DP essay, ~Have a complete, organized and well thought out plan for the essay (G.O. including major and minor support), ~Well-crafted thesis statement and introductory paragraph, and ~ Conclusion paragraph. All these need to be organized and ready to go on Monday, no excuses.
HW: None. (But make absolutely sure you have fully and thoughtfully completed Monday-Thursday’s work.)
