Today, students continued taking notes on the Tips for Writing an Outstanding Essay PowerPoint. Then, the class was introduced to their unit one vocabulary terms and assigned their first set of vocabulary exercises. Next, the class read, annotated, and discussed "What is an American," and students worked with partners to answer analysis questions 1-4 in complete, well-developed sentences. Students were instructed to individually create graphic organizers, based on #5 of the text analysis. This organizer is due on Monday. The student who creates the best organizer will win five extra points on their upcoming Socratic Seminar.
