Monday 10/5

I collected reading logs today. We then read for 10 minutes, talked books for 5 and then assessed ad responses in order to model what the expectations are for the writing assignments to come.
In our careful study of the responses, we noted that the best responses did the following:


  • Named the appeal and defined it.
  • Told why using specific details from the text (3)
  • Unpacked the evidence--that is to say-explained how the specific detail worked to appeal to the audience in the way we claimed.
We then partnered up to write a stand out response in our tips section of the notebook in order to have a model from which to work.

HW: read/log time 150 minutes due on this new log which is for 10/5-10/12
