Announcements and Reminders:
Grab your composition books and a copy of The Outsiders. If you haven't signed up for a Realistic Fiction Book of the Month or turned in the Quiz of the Week #4, do that now! Please keep papers that are handed back until AFTER you have your grade for this term. |
Targets for Today:
I can collect evidence from The Outsiders for a future argument essay.
I can tell the difference between evidence and explanation. |
Today’s Agenda:
CSI!! Copy this down in your composition book and circle/underline things that you notice about it. Look for conventions and content, good and "could be better".
"He still reminded me of a lost puppy who had been kicked too often, but for the first time I saw him as a stranger might see him." -Ponyboy, The Outsiders
Now we''ll finish Ch. 5 of The Outsiders. Pull our your character pages and green sheets! I will ask you about the facts you wrote on your green sheets.
Now for a quick break! We'll talk about the Argument Jigsaw, and how that went.
You did very well!!
Most of you picked out the claim/thesis, counterclaim, rebuttal, and conclusion.
Let's review a couple of the other terms.
Hook: Can it be more than one sentence?
"In the 21st century,
computer science is just as foundational as biology, chemistry," said Hadi
Partovi, founder and CEO of Code.org."
Or maybe...
Moving her finger over the
laptop trackpad, 6-year-old Lauren Meek drags and drops a block of code to
build a set of instructions. She clicks the "run" button and watches
as the character moves through a maze. She then pumps her fist in excitement. "Yes! This is so easy," says Meek, a
kindergartener at Marshall Elementary in Marysville, north of Seattle.
Background Information: Should it include quotes and numbers, or just a summary or explanation?
Currently, computer science is
taught in only about one of four high schools nationwide, with fewer in lower
middle and elementary school grades. And only 27 states allow a computer
science course to be counted toward graduation requirements in math or science,
according to Code.org.
Or maybe...
Code is foundational knowledge
because technology affects countless aspects of our lives. In fact, computers
are woven into school, work, and play. Knowing how to code allows individuals
more control in their lives and allows them to interact in the environments
that are most important to them.
Evidence: Does it have an opinion?
