ELA B10: Essay writing…
- Students basically had yesterday’s class to chose which of the five essay topics they were going to choose and do their brainstorming / planning. For today’s class, they were asked to begin filling in the necessary things in their essay outline handout. By the end of class, they should have been able to have completed either their entire outline or three really well-prepared body paragraphs. They had to hand them in for me to have a look at to gauge how well they understand the format and how well they used their time. I know some are still uncomfortable / tired of essays but it is a big part of future English classes so we might as well make sure you get it before moving on.
- Tomorrow, we’ll look at the proper way to integrate literature into their own writing.
