In reading the blogs from Obama and Jobs, I can see a lot of progress! First, in terms of using thesis and evidence, both in giving relevant and in some cases best evidence and in citation (saying the page, paragraph, etc) . Also, you showed me you are more comfortable with technology. ( A SPECIAL THANK YOU to all the students who helped the new students get gmail accounts and show them the blogging process!!!!) WEPA! In addition, it was fun to see your comments to your peers, even across classes. Nice.
This week as we blog about the biography Martin Luther King, Jr. , by Terry Barber, we are going to practice the skills we already know as well as, try to understand the important role that analysis plays in providing a strong evidence-based argument. Remember, there is no correct answer; rather the best answer is based on the strength of the argument (Thesis, Evidence, Analysis and Concluding Statement). Finally, I saw that we are not all using transition words, remember to do that as you introduce your evidence.
Show me how smart you are.........even though, I already know!!!!!!!!!
