The aim of Tuesday's session was to encourage students to produce a clear critical argument when constructing a written response. The last set of essays lacked critical clarity and this informed this week's sessions. Class discussion considered the STRUCTURE section of the question:
HOW DOES FITZGERALD TELL THE STORY IN CHAPTER FIVE OF THE GREAT GATSBY?
After discussing potential content for the structure paragraph, students produced a twenty minute written response.
Today's session continued to consider content for the essay title. Class discussion considered the LANGUAGE paragraph. ChimpNimsky gathered the class in front of the white-board and the class produced an exemplar paragraph. The focus of both sessions was CLARITY. Students need to construct a more precise and coherent written response so these two lessons attempted to illustrate how a paragraph should be structured when constructing a critical analysis. Students were also encouraged to confront the appropriate assessment objective. A handout was provided today. USE IT.
HOMEWORK: Students need to answer the question:
HOW DOES FITZGERALD TELL THE STORY IN CHAPTER FIVE OF THE GREAT GATSBY?
Essays need to be handed to me before Tuesday's session.
Good Luck.
