1. Journal
When are you at your happiest? Why?
2. Essay Work
- Yesterday, we started our essays in Google Classroom.
- You are responding to the questions on the Google Doc, and that is turning into your essay.
- Some of you are ready for intros and conclusions.
- Your intro must have a thesis statement (roadmap for your readers):
- SAMPLE:
- After receiving his draft notice, O'Brien goes on a journey where he is impacted by Elroy Berdahl, a man with the great qualities of a listener, who supports him quietly as he makes one of the biggest decisions of his life.
- You can find fill-in sentence frames for your thesis statement HERE. (Only use these AFTER your three body paragraphs are finished.
If you are done, find a classmate who could use your help.
TRY THIS:
If you've finished everything else, try writing a precis for the story!
It's different than the essay format since it's just 4 sentences.
Reminders:
If our essays are complete, tomorrow we can watch an episode of This is Us all about getting drafted to fight in Vietnam (directed by our author, Tim O'Brien.)
