Objective: How do we compare/contrast? How do we use the writing process to develop strong arguments?
1- Skill of the day--More colons
2- Students got back into their small groups and read "The Battle with Grendel" section of Beowulf. Students were to add two more claims to their definitions of good and two more claims to their definitions of evil. At this point, they should have twenty total claims.
3- We looked at the homework assignment and students asked questions. By 2nd period it became obvious that I needed to give a specific, written assignment. Click below for the actual homework explanation and example:
Homework Explanation
4- We compared the Battle of Grendel to a scene from "The Return of the King." Students made connections to the two texts by looking at ways in which they connected.
Homework:
Students are to take two claims and bridge them together with a thesis statement. Then develop both paragraphs using the claim, evidence, analysis. Click above on homework Explanation for much better details and examples.
