Tuesday Writing #2: September 12, 2017

Focus: How can we synthesize what we've learned so far into a persuasive timed writing?

1. Warming up with a partner reading of today's timed writing poem
  • Imagery (appeals to the five senses)
  • Shifts (circle your buts)
  • Patterns (especially dichotomies)
2. Offering you a few suggestions on structure

3. Enjoying your first poetry timed writing

HW:
1. For Friday: Read through Chapter 15 and complete a reading ticket. 

 ***We will take Wednesday as a reading and cookie day. Bring your books and nut-free cookies to share.*** I will also do a quick lesson on dramatic irony since we didn't get to discuss that with Oedipus Rex.

2. Ongoing: Work on your college essays and stop by for a conference. They are due on September 18 by 3:00 pm in www.turnitin.com
