Collin Hayes Scribe September 30

Essential Question:
To what extent do jealousy and betrayal rule our choices/ lives or affect our relationships?

Schedule:

  • scribe
  • Lily and group: home baked goodies
  • Graph and record scores for S/R 4; what can you do to improve?
  • Finish Act 5:
  1. assign notes
  2. act out
  3. discuss along
  • review
Homework:SAT 5 questions, copy of Long Way Gone

Repeated 

S/R Tips:
Summary: Big idea in summary should be in topic sentence and plot should be after. Big Idea is a theme, not specific to certain character and plot is specific to a certain character. One paragraph summary. No opinion in summary, save opinion for the response.

Response: One big paragraph response. Even though, rebuttal phrases have personal words like "we cannot deny" or "I used to think" we can manipulate them to say "It's undeniable that" or "It is plausible to think." Instead of using because in the topic sentence you could use another way to explain why without saying because. First thing after quote explain your interpretation of the quote without saying "This quote means..." then connect the quote to your argument. After that connect to the thesis of the entire Response. Make sure you have a singular concluding sentence at the end of the response. The concluding sentence should be big idea because topic sentence is big idea. Period on citation should always be after citation and not inside quotation marks unless it is an exclamation point or a question mark. Citation should say (Shakespeare Act.Scene.Lines). Connect quotes to other scenes with evidence and makes inferences and go beyond what the text says. 

Read Act 5 of Othello Act 5 from beginning to Act 5, Scene 2, Line 107

Rachel Green Scribe for September 30th

In-Class

Graph and record scores for S/R 4 and write down what you can do to improve.  We wrote on the board anything that we repeatedly were missing in the categories of Summary or Response.

Citation and Lead-in: Remember to have a lead-in that ends with a comma, followed by the quote.  Before the period at the end of the quote, put parentheses around the author and the page number, with the period outside the parentheses.  Exclamation points or question marks can be included in the quote, but there is still a period after the parentheses.

Proof-Reading: You could swap S/Rs and proof-read each others.  You could also take a break and come back with a fresh mind.  You could even take an entire night and read it again the next day.  You could print it out and mark it up with a pen.  Read through for both big ideas and grammar.  Read it out loud.

Expanding on Quote: What is quote saying?  Connect the quote to the point of the paragraph.

Expanding Rebuttal:Spend more time on your point than on the opposing point.

Read to the line "Where is this rash and most unfortunate man?"; assigned roles, acted out, and discussed as going along
