1- Class discussion/lesson on scope. See notes in photo below. The main point was that everything you include in your paper needs to be within the scope of your thesis--In other words, everything you include needs to either directly tie back/relate to your thesis (argument) OR it needs to be background info that sets the foundation for a later paragraph that does directly prove your thesis.
2- Students worked on an outline activity--This is something that you can get from Mrs. Jaynes to make up for points.
Homework:
Students need to type an outline for their paper. Outline should include a thesis statement and then an informal explanation about what they need to include in each paragraph to both prove their thesis AND stay within scope (remain focused on the paper). Each part of the outline should include 1-2 sentences explaining what they should include in each paragraph. TYPE AND BRING TWO COPIES OF OUTLINE!!!
REMINDER--books are due on February 10th. If you do not have a copy of your book on that day, you will be put with the other kids who don't have a book and I will assign one to you. Not as fun. Trust me.
