Today in class we...

• Did grammar work (got purple packets)
• Looked for parts of speech in sentences (Monday's Notes)
• First sentence: Their team will practice after school.
• Second sentence: Several of the dogs ate their meal
• Identified sentence parts in each sentence (Tuesday's Notes)

Hints: If you have a preposition, then you have a prepositional phrase and an object of the preposition

-A helping verb and action verb are combined as a verb

-Use your packet!!!

-Subjects are never in prep phrases and prep phrases are never the subject

-Only have a direct object with action verbs

• Looked at visions of paper to help spark ideas
• Think of what you can show instead of what you can say
• Maybe use a video instead of a quote
• Think of colors and text
• Show both sides (good and bad)
• Spark emotion
• Show, don't tell for everything
• Highlighting is an advantage (but not excessive)
• Let audience know a little more about characters
• Go to this link for more ideas/inspirations
• http://www.nytimes.com/projects/2012/snow-fall/
• Make a copy of the outline and put it in your folder, then another subfolder
• Example: Little Brother Paper folder
• Begin mapping out paper- outline of overall paper,  

Think about maybe forming groups for paper help if you want.  Know who to go to and have others proofread.

• Ideas for thesis statement
• Most basic-  Through the works of Orwell, Bradbury, Doctorow, and modern society, society had learned ___________, yet failed to grasp _________; as a result, society will become ________.
• Make sure you solve the problem you have stated

• What direction do you want to go for your paper
• Learned to not learned- negative
• Not learned to learned- positive

Big takeaway.... OWN YOUR OWN LEARNING

Homework

• Do a rough thesis example
• Begin mapping out paper- the outline
• Learned
