Friday
I was away today and Mr Elliot was in charge!
Thursday
Draft 1 of this piece is due on Monday.
Today was dedicated to time for working on the synthesis piece about The Bastard and Faking It.
Wednesday
Your writing task today :
Assess which text, The Bastard or Faking It, demonstrates the greatest drawbacks being an imposter poses to living a happy life.
You are expected to write a multi-paragraph (3 or more paragraphs) essay of at least 300 words, to answer question the above question. Plan your work first! The rubric for this essay is in the links section of this blog.
Tuesday
In preparation for tomorrow's in-class write (synthesis essay) we completed the criteria for a quality synthesis piece based on the examples I went over with you. Afterwards, we took a final look at The Bastard to identify: flashback, foreshadowing, irony and symbolism.
Monday
During silent reading, I asked everyone to read through some sample synthesis pieces so that later in the class we could discuss them and what makes them worthy of a 6. To finish up our discussion of The Bastard, we looked at the quintessential traits of a villain, which we determined were: manipulator, no sense of guilt, greedy and just downright evil. There should be completed evidence of this activity in your folder. For the remainder of the class, we looked at what makes a quality synthesis essay (the kind you will write on the Provincial Exam). We looked at two examples of papers that scored a 6. Tomorrow we will finish with a third essay and then begin constructing the criteria for the synthesis piece you will write about The Bastard and another text that I will give you on the day of the in-class write.
