Learning Target:
I can read and learn from college essay examples.
I can generate discussion questions and participate in a small group discussion about literature.
Activity 1:
On one side of the notecard provided, please write a comment, observation or connection to last night's reading. Provide some context for your comment by referencing particular page numbers and briefly explaining/summarizing the part of the text you are commenting on.
On the pother side of the notecard, please write an inferential discussion question.
When finished, hand in your notecard and pick up a the college essay examples packet and begin reading the first essay.
Activity 2:
Read the college essay example packet and comment on the strengths and weakness of each essay.
For the first essay, read and annotate for things you feel are successful in each paragraph and the essay as a whole. Think about what strategies she employs to make her piece work for her and her audience (the college admissions officer).
For the second essay, read and annotate, but in this case, I would like you to look for things that are problematic. Describe those with some brief annotations beside each paragraph.
For the third essay, simply read it and then take a look at the critique on the back.
Homework: Read pages 81-104 for Tuesday. (Group guidance on Monday)
By Wednesday, An annotated copy of your revised final draft.
