Focus: What are we doing well in our prose timed writings, and how can we improve?
1. Warming up with three good things
2. Recapping the technique of the close reading
3. In Question #2: Johnny Got His Gun, considering the first inch, the last inch, and the concrete details and devices in between; which places are richest for close readings?
4. Perusing two sample essays on Q2, then using the reflective rubric to peer edit each other's timed writings
HW:
1. For tomorrow: Remember that tomorrow is your first, tiny assessment on Academic Vocabulary, Set 1. Use Quizlet to review (right before you go to bed if possible).
2. For tomorrow: Read Chapters 2, 3, and 4 in Invisible Man and prepare your Socratic ticket for tomorrow's discussion. Because class is short tomorrow, we will dive right into it with minimal warming up.
3. For Thursday: Bring back all of your midterm materials (scantron, MC, essay prompts).
