Backronym week!

BASIC | Beginner’s All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code


Wednesday
Thursday, there will be an essay "quiz"  - rather than writing an entire essay, you will write part(s) of an essay.
1. More basic essay practice.
2. Score some [more] sample essays - we will look at 3-5 essays. Your team is responsible for determining, based on the rubric, what the student scored on the essay. http://www.bced.gov.bc.ca/exams/exemplars/en_synthesis/en12-synthesis-samples.pdf
3. Block D/H - The Larder a short story - In pairs, organize the words below into the following groups: PEOPLE, PLACES, EVENTS, OBJECTS, PROBLEMS, OUTCOMES, UNKNOWN WORDS
4. Complete reading Cousins. Complete the T-chart where you are noting Joe's emotions during the various parts/scenes of the story.
5. Reflect back on the 6 things you have recently read: Song for the Homeless, Blue Jay, Deer's Take on Man, Rock Bottom, Cousins, The Larder. On your own lined paper, identify an example of imagery from one of the texts that you connected with and another example from a different text that confused you. Discuss in using blended quotes, what was it about the imagery that allowed you to relate, and what made the other imagery confusing - what questions do you have about the confusing one. This response should be a paragraph of around 150 words. HAND IN at end of class.
