After checking on homework completion, class reviewed last week's studies.
Mr. Zartler presented notes on "Organizing your thoughts:" Clear organization in an essay is necessary to help guide a reader through your argument. Repetition of KEY WORDS is a fantastic (and necessary) way to do this.
The class then did a variety of exercises designed to practice use of key words in body paragraph topic sentences of to improve the thesis and evidence statements that students completed for homework. Students had time to create excellent body paragraph topic sentences in class with coaching from Mr. Zartler.
HOMEWORK: Students are to bring a rough draft of an essay responding to the prompt: "Are humans good or evil" to next class on Wednesday.
Mr. Zartler then introduced Lord of the Flies as an allegorical novel (one which uses symbols to share a moral or political point).
Symbols to watch out for in the novel include: conch; island; "Lord of the Flies;" children; adults / grown ups; scar; asthma; pigs; eye glasses.
Students had time to begin reading the novel in class.
