Greetings!
We had what I hope was a productive class -- this week we went over more specifics about incorporating research material into the body of a paper and the details for in text citations and entries on a Works Cited page.
For our Quick Write we used these 3 prompts:
What would you do if you were locked inside your favorite department store overnight?
What would you do if you woke up one morning to find yourself invisible?
What would you do if you were able to communicate with animals?
omnibenevolence -- Latin, omni, "all," bene, "good," and volo, "to be willing; have the power to do" -- Unlimited kindness and generosity
omnia vincit amor -- Latin -- love conquers all
omniarch -- Latin, omni, "all" and arch, "lead, command" -- the ruler of everything
omnific -- Latin, omni, "all" and facere, "to make, to do," -- capable of doing everything
Before explaining the citations, I divided the students into small groups to talk to one another about the challenges and progress with their rough drafts.
I used a PowerPoint slide presentation to walk through signal phrases, paraphrases & direct quotations, and elements of in text citations. I've uploaded the files into a Google Slides presentation with a link below.
The students are in various stages with the writing of their rough drafts. I heard one comment about how the research and writing is taking longer than was expected. That is very common with every big project. Students, keep it up. I believe in you!!
Have a good weekend,
Mrs. Prichard
