English 10: Tuesday October 6th, 2015

Good Morning!

Yesterday we worked on our “Venn Diagrams” for the short story “The Metaphor”. We also talked about unity and coherence in compare and contrast essays.  At the end of class we looked at semicolons (in the sharepoint writing folder) in the hopes that we will use semicolons in our upcoming essay.

*Semicolons:  yesterday you were working on semicolons (found in sharepoint in the writing folder) we will go over these today.

*We will start class by looking at “Compare and Contrast: Explanation and Examples” found in sharepoint in the writing folder.

*incorporating Quotes:  as we head into our essay, please review the proper way to incorporate a quote.  This is found in sharepoint in the writing folder.

* transitional expressions: as we head into our essay, please review the proper way to incorporate a quote.  This is found in sharepoint in the writing folder.

*compare and contrast essay outline:  You will have class time to work on getting your ideas down onto an outline.
