Week of September 9 - 13

Monday:  Today we played catch up.  Anyone who still had to take Friday's test, or complete Friday's test did so today.  Any work from Unit 1 was to be completed today.

Tuesday: Today we went over the Four Tasks of Academic Writing.  Everyone took notes, and we discussed them a bit.  Once we finished, we read "On Compassion" and annotated as we read.

Wednesday:  We will continue to discuss and annotate "On Compassion," then come up with one great word.  I will post each day beginning tomorrow so anyone absent knows how far we've gotten.  We will be writing an academic paragraph together this week.  It will be due Monday (September 16th).

Thursday: Write topic sentence (Task 1).  We will use the one great word from yesterday and compose a topic sentence for our paragraph.  I will post by end of day.  We will also write our response to the topic sentence (Task 2).  Both will be posted.

Friday: Write your story (in 3 sentences, beginning/middle/end) to back up your topic sentence and response (Task 3).  Write your conclusion sentence (Task 4).  The conclusion sentence reminds why you told your story.
