Asynchronous Assignment for Expository Composition period 4,5,6--Academic Verbs and SOAPS Analysis

As I continue to review assignments, many students fail to use academic verbs in their SOAPS Analysis. Some may fail to identify THREE subjects of the text and then ensure those are articulated in the purpose section.  Today, you will 1. Open the folder Exemplars and Reading Rubrics. Once open, click Verbs for Literary Analysis (Academic Verbs). Select 20 verbs, handwrite them with a brief definition that DOES NOT repeat the word.  For example for ANALYZE, DO NOT WRITE, to analyze means to analyze a text.  you must handwrite the verbs and definition so that they are codified in your brain.  Upload Your List with Definitions.  While you are in the folder, you may also Click the SOAPS Exemplar to see what your SOAPS should look more like. 

2.  Since everyone should have read The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl up to page 10, you will complete a SOAPS Analysis on the Introduction/Chapter 1. Your SOAPS Analysis MUST among other things, state three subjects or big ideas from the reading.  When you arrive at the purpose section, you must connect a subject with AN ACADEMIC VERB from the list.  YOU MUST HAVE THREE PURPOSES using different academic verbs.  Upload your typed or handwritten SOAPS by 4pm.
