We continued our look at non-fiction today. We talked about the four reasons for reading and writing non-fiction (and everything, really): to entertain, to explain, to inform, and to entertain.
Students completed a Daily Log activity in which they worked on vocabulary, grammar, and writing.
Following the Daily Log, we looked at a series of short excerpts from different types of videos and articles. Students had to identify what the purpose and tone of each excerpt on a worksheet.
Students who turned in Odyssey essays yesterday received them back today with my suggestions for improvements. Please start working on your revisions. If you haven't yet turned in an essay, make sure you do so.
Students who were absent for today's class should do the Daily Log and as much of the "Analyzing Literature" worksheet as possible.
