Lab day

Happy Friday! We're in the lab today because I got the feeling that many of the essays need to be assembled, especially if you worked on parts separately.

Also, if you don't need the computers, use this time to plan out how you will present your understanding of essays. I brought craft supplies, sort of...

I want a copy of your essay before you leave. I want to give feedback on them.

I'm looking to start presentations on Tuesday. If this class time isn't used wisely, perhaps we'll start Monday....

HW (unless you're in section 8-2): Write a script for your role (essay manager, lawyer, public relations) in the presentation. Take a look at my model below:


Speaking as the essay manager, Kirby Sutherland

SPEAKINGI wanna speak to you briefly about the filing system we’ve installed inside this essay, otherwise known as the thesis statement:

(VISUAL): Schools should continue using traditional calendar and not a year-round schedule. There are numerous downsides to year-round schooling: it has no positive effects on education, it adds to costs, and it disrupts the long-awaited summer vacation. 

SPEAKING:This thesis statement acts a filing system as it neatly lays out a strong focus for each of the 3 body paragraphs (note to self: using the visual, demonstrate how each reason will be assigned to a body paragraph)
