Honors 9- Today students got their assessments back and we discussed how students performed and any areas missed. I assigned homework for the pro/con social articles students chose on their own. Here is the assignment if you were absent:

Identifying Claim and Evidence

                                                                                                

Due Monday December 1, 2014

Directions: Annotate both articles for evidence and claim. When you have completed annotations, please complete this organizer and writing prompt.

Topic/Social issue:                                                         

Title of article pro/for:

Author’s name:

Website URL:

Author’s claim:

Types of evidence:

Title of article con/against:

Author’s name:

Website URL:

Author’s claim:

Types of evidence:

Writing prompt: After reading and annotating both articles, write a constructed response identifying which article is the stronger article. Keep in mind, this is not the article that you agree with the most, it is the article in which the author has best supported their claim. Consider who the author is. Consider the source of the article. Evaluate the evidence. Identify ethos, pathos and logos. Identify the article with the best supported claim. Use evidence from each text to support your thinking. Attach both of your annotated articles and your written response to this sheet to turn in.

English 10- Today we focused on getting through Act 1 scene one and two and started working on questions for each scene.
