ELA B10: May 7 Body paragraph writing…
- After discussing earlier this week the dos and don’ts of integrating references into their own sentences, they did a practice test with eight questions. The page numbers were given for where in the novel they could find an appropriate reference and a paragraph topic was supplied. They then had to choose the best reference phrase and integrated it into their own sentences.
Today, we reviewed several of their sentences and critiqued / corrected them. I’ve found, from my own experience, that the best way to understand how “to” do something is to sometimes study how “not” to do something. Hopefully, by reviewing and correcting these sentences, they’ll do a better job and become more comfortable doing it accurately in their essay. - Then they continued on trying to fill in the boxes of their body paragraph.
