FRIDAY: APOLOGY PARAGRAPH

Today students:

1. took the vocab test on Lesson 8

2. checked out The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer.  We discussed what we know about the story based on the title, the pages of information before the story starts, and the first paragraph of the story.

3.  wrote paragraphs that answered the question: What is Socrates accused of?

         Each paragraph should have had  A CLAIM (your answer to the question).
                                                          DETAILS from paragraph 1 AND 2 that support that claim
                                                and     COMMENTARY that explains how the details helped you                                                                            answer the question.

Details should have been properly cited, whether they were paraphrased or not. :)

HOMEWORK is to Read to page 49 in HOS by  next FRIDAY. Bring your books to class on Monday so we can read chapter 1 together.
