Students turned in EOC Passage Analysis today. (Just write FREE in the final space.) Then, students got out SpringBoard Unit 3 Embedded Assessment 2 Planning Guides. If/When students showed me completed packets (WITH PAGE NUMBERS for Step 6), students were issued a laptop for the class period to draft the literary analysis. At the end of class, I collected SpringBoard Unit 3 Embedded Assessment 2 Planning Guides from students who wanted me to hold them. We probably won't revisit this paper until after spring break!

If you missed class on this day, you missed the EOC Passage Analysis based on Straw Into Gold.
Which statement best explains how the information from the 5th paragraph best relates to the rest of the passage? A. It provides an example of the author's success. B. It describes another incident that shows frustration. C. It describes an activity the author feels is beyond her ability. D. It provides an explanation of the fairy tale. We spent the class period on our second of three work days on a preliminary/rough draft of SpringBoard Unit 3, Embedded Assessment 2: Writing a Literary Analysis. Students drafted essays by using completed SpringBoard Unit 3, Embedded Assessment 2 Planning Guides. Drafts will be due to Turnitin by midnight on Friday, March 29th. If you missed class today, you missed a class period to work in the lab writing your rough draft of SpringBoard Unit 3, Embedded Assessment 2. At this point, students should be finished reading Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart and should be finished with the SpringBoard Unit 3 Embedded Assessment 2 Packet. We will spend Thursday and then Friday drafting the actual literary analysis (from the thesis statement and outline in the packet) and the first draft will be due to Turnitin by midnight on Friday, March 29th, 2013.
Finally, here was your question for your EOC Passage Analysis (due tomorrow!) with Straw Into Gold. Since most fairy tales end happily, what part of the author's experience is ironic? A. The author's performance on the exam did not end her career as a writer. B. Although her mother could make tortillas, the author could not. C. The author's friends assume she can make excellent tortillas. D. Her tortillas and her MFA exam were not particularly successful.

Hello, students! If you missed class today, please check the March 20th Daily Boards. There is nothing for you to print, but I really think it will help you to open the SpringBoard notes and take them down for 3.18 to fill in any gaps in your understanding for Chapters 15-19. This time away from Umuofia is key in Okonkwo's character ark, shaping him as an (arguable?) tragic hero.

Expand the second paragraph to establish specifics about how the dress code would be created. B. Expand the third paragraph to include an example of how savings would be made. C. Expand the fourth paragraph to give examples of how the new building improved student behavior. D. Expand the fifth paragraph to give examples of dress code violations.
