Write a Rhetorical Précis

Goal: Write a class précis and then submit a final précis to Google Classroom

Agenda: 
Reading
Journal
Class Précis: Adam Saenz Talk
Final Précis: Jim Burke Prologue

1. Reading
On Tuesday you got to peruse the classroom library. Today we're going to start with some "Starbooks" time where you get to read that book, enjoy some treats, and relax to start off our day.

2. Journal 
Think about one of your elementary school teachers you can remember. What would they think of you now? Explain your thoughts.

3. Classwide Precis 
  • We will write a practice precis on Adam Saenz's TED Talk, "The Power of a Teacher"
  • You can use this as a model for your own precis you will write independently.
  • Someone in class will record for us as we contribute and help them to write. 
4. Performance Task: Final Précis
  • Submit your final precis typed to Google Classroom. 
  • I will always show you the rubric for your Performance Tasks before they are due. How I score you is not a secret, and you'll always know what you need to improve.

Reminders: 
Have a great weekend. You deserve it! I'll see you Monday.
