Activity 1: Class overview and handouts (quizzes and essay packets and student essays)
- I have graded and entered the quizzes from yesterday, but I will not be discussing them further until all students absent yesterday (about 5 in each period) have completed the quiz.
- While students absent yesterday pick up and begin working on their quiz, the rest of you will begin an independent AP essay reflection activity.
- You will evaluate, score, and explain the reason for your score on three student essays in the packet provided.
Next, you will re-read your own essay and evaluate, score, and then explain your score.
Finally, you will reflect on what you feel are your strengths and skills you feel you need to improve on when writing timed AP rhetorical analysis essays.
Activity 2: (after 35 minutes have passed)
Quick discussion of the two student essays they evaluated
Activity 3: As you leave class, place your essay packet and your essay in the box.
I will do a visual check for completed work, and given a satisfactory, AP-level effort, you will receive 10 points; efforts which reveal slackage will receive no more than 5 points. I will check these tonight and get them back to you tomorrow.
Homework:
- Students who worked primarily on the quiz today, should do the essay reflection assignment for homework.
- All students should bring Beloved tomorrow. We will review annotating, types of questions for discussion, and have time in class to begin reading.
