Spent an hour and a half building vocabulary. Completed Unit 12 and Unit 10 - 12 Review. Shifted over to Personal Opinion Persuasive Essay. Focussed on the design of each of his paper's three core paragraphs: Topic sentences; example(s); citing of research; followed by part 3 of "The Sandwich" (Vlad's discussion of the quote, chart, or graph). Discussed the term "tipping point" and how a paragraph on "tipping point" could be used to discuss how a decisive moment of being deeply unhappy can be the final moment when for any number of reasons when one partner who has "fallen out of love" says to her or his partner "I'm unhappy" and the answer is "How unhappy are you?" Ran through the requirements of an introductory paragraph, a concluding paragraph, and a title. Tested some "working" titles to see how close they came to reflecting the shape the paper is taking and, importantly, how provocative each of these "working" titles really is.
