ENGLISH IV 2015

 STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO CREATE AND SUPPORT A CLAIM TO BE USED IN AN ARGUMENT ESSAY  STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO SYNTHESIZE TEXT TO CREATE A COHESIVE ESSAY  STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO DETERMINE 2 OR MORE THEMES AND ANLAYZE THEM  STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO CITE TEXTUAL EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT A CLAIM

 DO NOW: What do you want to learn for the mid-term?  Lesson: Review how you can connect essay ideas to formulate a cohesive essay  Example: From Macbeth  Group work: Groups will come up with 3-5 pieces of text evidence  Share out: 10 minutes  Exit pass: Do you have any other concerns about the mid-term?

 Make sure you stick to your claim/thesis  Make sure you claim says what you intend on defending/proving  Connect each text with a transition sentence—try to use a sentence rather than one word  Connect all texts in the conclusion  Make comparisons between texts when possible

 Include your textual evidence in the form of SPECIFIC DETAILS you choose to paraphrase  Read over your essay and make sure you fully prove your claim  Did you summarize or stick to developing your theme?  This is not a book report –DON’T SUMMARIZE EACH BOOK WITH NO DEVELOPMENT OF YOUR CLAIM

 Check spelling, grammar, fragments, and run-on sentences  Be specific—generalization will receive a point deduction  The essay should be NO LESS than 5 paragraphs possibly more  Be sure to include a strong opening and conclusion

 Example: Macbeth—POWER, CORRUPTION, AND LEADERSIP  Upon hearing Malcolm will become king after Duncan, Macbeth struggles with the concept of becoming king. He tells Duncan to his face he is honored to be fighting for him; however, internally he is realizing that in order to become king Macbeth will need to get rid of both Duncan and Malcolm.  This shows Macbeth’s desire for power and leadership which leads him down a path of corruption because he feels compelled to act on what the witches told him.  REPEAT 4 MORE TIMES FOR EACH TEXT—YOU MAY USE QUOTES BUT REMEMBER YOU NEED TO KNOW THEM FOR THE EXAM

 Is there further you need for the mid-term?  How can you connect the texts in your essay?
