Expository Composition p.5 and Honors World Literature p.6

For now seniors, you owe me two Articles of the Week: one is your choice, the other I chose for you: The World Is Not Ready for The Next Pandemic (I have this Time Magazine in our classroom).  Read your articles or hear your podcast and read your article. Do your SOAPS + Academic Summary period 5 and Rhetorical Precis (period 6) on BOTH.
2. Friday Freewrite. Prompts are here and have been sent to you via Remind.  Be well!

Expository Composition Period 5

1. During the two weeks of distance learning, we will cover the entire narrative unit in both editions of Patterns For College Writing.  We will read the readings/articles in the section Narration. Additionally, each of you will read one other article of the week for a total or two articles of the week per week. Additionally you will read 1/2 of your autobiography/memoir next week, and the other half of it the following week.  I am trying to decide on what type of journal or reading reaction log to post.
2. I will assign "write like" activities in which you mimic the writing style of your author.
3. I will also assign assignments on the craft of narration including: specificity and details; using dialogue; description; revising vague language for specific details.
4. Assignments will be due in Schoology at the assigned time. If they are not posted within a few hours of the deadline, the window will be locked and the assignment will not be accepted.
I do know I may have you use tech tools to demonstrate your reading and to engage with one another. I plan on using Padlet; Chatsy; Answergarden; Flipgrid and possibly others.
