Objective vs. Subjective: September 12, 2018

Focus: How can we develop our objective and subjective skills to form topic sentences?

1. Warming up: Is it objective, or subjective?

Summary = objective

Response = subjective

2. Debriefing yesterday's documentary with your grid groups

• Topic #1: What specific moments from the documentary will stay with you? Which struck you?
• Topic #2: What larger takeaways do you have from the documentary? What did you learn?
• Topic #3: How does the documentary help you understand something better or differently about the Time photos we examined on Monday?

3. Reviewing the summary-response essay, then working on your pre-writing document

• Place your pre-writing document inside your Kite Runner folder.

3. Exploring the possibilities for your topic sentences and doing a quick demo together

4. Wrapping up Independent vs. Dependent Clauses: The Reteach

HW:

1. For TOMORROW:

• Finish your pre-writing document if you did not finish in class.

2. For FRIDAY: Independent reading

3. Remember that September 26 is the end of the first 6 weeks, and this is when any make-up work/revisions must be submitted (reading journals, grammar quizzes, etc.).
