*Bell Ringer: Writer’s Workshop Time:
*Write this in ACT Prep section
*ACT writing practice– One Version of History??
*We like to think that history is an exact record of what occurred in the past. However, there are always different sides to a story. No two people interpret events in exactly the same way, and any description of an event will be colored by the teller’s point of view.
*Can there be one, undisputed version of history? (Thesis based on this question) Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.
****You get 30 minutes to plan, write the entire essay, and revise/edit.
*Collect ACT essay
*Things I’m looking for with this first essay: Intro –thesis (position on paper); Body Paragraphs –topic sentences, supporting details; Conclusion –restate thesis
*Expert group work time –presentations start tomorrow!!
*Make sure you have a note sheet for your classmates for the presentation
*Note Sheet should highlight the most important portions of your presentation: What will people need throughout the semester about your era (literary techniques, literary terms, characteristics of the era, characteristics and beliefs of movements and eras, etc)
*Give me one copy and I will make a class set
