I wholeheartedly apologize for falling behind on updating the blog this week! Needless to say, it has been a hectic week trying to get back into the swing of things. We have had a lot of people gone from class for various school activities, spring pictures, etc. So...here is a quick overview of what we have done this week:
Monday- We resumed our comparison/contrast essay, working on formulating an introduction with a hook statement, background information, and thesis statement.
Tuesday- We continued this work. Several were gone this day so I helped those who came to me individually for help on their intro.
Wednesday- We finalized and turned in our introductions. Then continued to map out the body of our essay, focusing on 3 specific comparisons or contrasts to use in the body paragraphs.
Thurday- We only had a few in class, so I allowed them to read their nonfiction novels. These are due, along with the Nonfiction Independent Reading Packet, at the beginning of class on Monday, April 8!!!!
When we return to class on Monday, you need to be prepared to write body paragraphs. Have a happy Easter weekend!
