ENGLISH – 3rd trimester – Day 50

 

Finish your PMR article and paragraph from yesterday...

 

·         As you read the non-fiction article…

1.        Summarize the article in a single sentence.

2.        According to Jenna Wortham, “________________________.”

a.        Choose an interesting point (or fact) made in the article

3.        Write several sentences that

a.        Explain why ______________ (choose someone OTHER than “self” from Circles of Reflection) might care about this information. (do not use the word “CARE”)

b.        Next, explain what might happen in the future.

4.        Before stapling it to the article, choose a partner and proofread their paragraph and together, make any necessary changes.

5.        Avoid saying "I think" and "I believe" unless absolutely necessary.

a.        These are phrases that do not evoke confidence and will literally do you no good.

6.        TURN IN
