This week our block days were spent turning in our books, writing unit reflections for me (What worked for you in this unit? What did not work for you? What would you recommend I change in the future, what should remain the same? What activities or assignments did you like the best and the least? Etc. etc.) We also spent some time discussing and beginning our next unit on persuasion. Before we dive into our next novel, we will spending about three or four weeks analyzing and interpreting persuasive strategies in writing, speaking, and the media, and also evaluating the arguments being made by our presidential candidates leading up the election. We will be doing a lot of writing in this unit, so be prepared! View the PowerPoint below. We will continue with this on Friday since we only got through the persuasive scenarios part and did not get through the whole thing. (Please note: I will be adding to this PowerPoint as we move through the unit, so I will be posting updated versions of it as we go along.)
