*Bell Ringer: Turn on your
computer and print out your body paragraphs if you don’t have a paper copy
*Comma and semi colon
rules (dependent and independent clauses): ACT Prep Slide 9
*Analysis vs. summary:
need to print out a copy first
*You need two
colors of highlighters or one highlighter and one colored pencil.
*Highlight
everything that you feel is summary in one color, everything that is analysis
in another color
—Work on
changing from first draft to second draft, getting your analysis to be at least
two times more than your summary (if not 3), adding more analysis, depth of
analysis (not just that it proves your thesis, but WHY and HOW)
*Writer’s
Workshop: second draft shared with me by end of block (second has
the intro and conclusion)
*Intros:
Attention getter, Necessary Information (author’s name, title(italics), plot
info related to thesis), Thesis
*All need to
tie together, need fluency, one idea builds to the other
*Better
analysis: tied to topic sentences, fully proving the thesis, take parts of the
quote to explain
*Conclusions:
restated thesis (new words/order, same idea), re-emphasize arguments (not
summarize everything you said), explain ‘so what?’ and possibly tie back to
attention getter
****One Pagers are due on FRIDAY!!! Everyone needs to have theirs done, even if they end up presenting it on Monday!
