Welcome! I've graded and posted comments for the Disagreement/Dissent take-home argument essay on Turnitin.com. Most of the essays were pretty good, and provided specific examples and appropriate and relevant evidence. Areas that were a little problematic were taking a clear stand (especially for qualified arguments) and conclusions. We'll take a quick look at the conclusion section of the Argument Prompt FLT worksheet before Monday's in-class essay.
MONDAY: In-class argument essay. HW: Finish Their Eyes Were Watching God project for Tuesday (5th) and Wednesday (6th).
TUESDAY(5th period) / WEDNESDAY (6th): Go over results from Disagreement/Dissent essay, enjoy Their Eyes cooking projects, announce whole-class essay contest winner. Look at Paine prompt. Read synthesis materials for Thursday. Read Their Eyes chapters 10-12 for Friday.

This is the last type of essay we need to master for the AP exam, and we will practice a full length in-class essay this Tuesday.
