Today's plan:
- Points for HW: Show me your interview notes & I’ll give you 10 points. This is for record keeping so when parents contact me because their little darling is getting a bad grade, I can share that the interview wasn’t done so the student fell behind on Embedded Assessment #1 right off the bat.
- Students who did not do the interview on their own will instead write an interview narrative about author Walter Dean Myers.
4. The part we've been waiting for!
Differentiated learning: Embedded assessment #1 - Drafting, #6 on page 60
OR
Revising and Editing, #7. Aaawwubbis, fanboys, compound, complex, balanced, periodic, cumulative.... - Students are encouraged to work at home, revising as necessary. If they need a follow up response or quote, they can call/contact the person they interviewed.
