HW: RJ 10.2 Read 20-30 minutes
Hey everyone. Well, we made it through day 1. Way to go. So good to see so many of you checking in here in the comments, or on Zoom or Remind or through Schoology. There are a few of you (or your classmates) who haven't checked in yet. If any of your friends are missing, please try to contact them and make sure they're ok.
So, for today, we're just working on the first body paragraphs of our essays. Make sure you introduce your reason, and then provide evidence and explanations that support your reason. Make sure you refer to the check list and:
ü use transitions to introduce reasoning and
clarify relationships between ideas
ü provide the strongest, most relevant,
specific evidence through quotes and paraphrases (including page #s)
ü elaborate on evidence to support reasoning,
addresses/acknowledges opposing arguments
ü connect reasoning to the thesis
Here are your sample body essays:
OK, that's all for today. Make sure you are taking care of yourselves and your health. Things are so uncertain, so even if you think it's silly to think of schoolwork right now, it can be a nice distraction from everything else going on in the world.
Make sure you comment on the blog or check in with me on Remind (send a message to 81010 with the text @nakada to sign up). Feel free to send paragraphs for me to check or ask for quotes, or any other help you might need on this essay.
You all are awesome. I miss seeing you and I'm so sorry you are having this very strange eighth grade year.
