Day 19 Periods 1, 2, 5 & 6 Tuesday, 9/10 AND period 4, Wednesday 9/11: Day 1 to write Interview Narrative

Objective: Write an interview narrative, applying best writing skills and creating voice.

1.     Develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach, focusing on addressing what is most significant for a specific purpose and audience.
2.     Use various types of phrases and clauses to convey specific meanings and add variety and interest to writing or presentations.
3.     Use a semicolonto link two or more closely related independent clauses


Today's plan:

  1. 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.
     
  2. 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....

  3. 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.
