Week 9

Important Reminder!
I'll be traveling for the next two Thursdays.  We will meet again for class on Thursday, November 12th.

This week was our second lesson on essay 2 arrangement.  We cover a lot of ground in this essay! We are moving from a rudamentary 3 proof essay to an essay containing three main proofs with three supporting proofs each.

Last week, we learned how to sort information on the ANI chart.  From now on, the invention and arrangement for every essay will include creating an ANI chart with 20 points in each column, and sorting those points into sub groups for BOTH the A and N columns.

This week we will move from the sorted ANI groups to an outline.  AS ALWAYS, this will involve an intermediate step (Arrangement B, the essay worksheet).  This intermediate step is necessary in order to cultivate the habit of THINKING in the right order when choosing the content for an essay.  

Writing Assignment

• Choose the 3 best groups in your sorted A and sorted N
• Select the best 3 supporting points in each of the groups you chose
• Decide which side you will argue in your essay
• Complete the worksheet on pages 13 & 14
• From the content of the worksheet, create an outline according to the template on page 15 (use your blank outline handout from class)

Reading Assignment

Highlight and narrate in the regular way.  If you have not yet moved from written narration to oral narration, be prepared to read your written narrations aloud in class.  They should explain the content of the section in such a way as to help your classmates remember all the main events in that part of the story.  

The Odyssey, Book 11

*Please be prepared to narrate the last two sections from week 8 since we didn't finish those today in class.  If you completed written narrations for book 10, bring them with you.
