Session Date
Lesson Topic
Strong verbs. One on one discussion about draft argumentative essay
Lesson Outline
Devin was late and Ashley was absent.
Sadie and I went over her draft essay and I gave feedback and dsicussed ways she can dig deeper for a more analytical argument. Next sat at computer and did exercise on making paragraph more descriptive first through the use of many adjectives and adverbs, second through the use of stronger verbs. Devin arrived and I put him in front of a computer and he worked hard to catch up with Sadie. We printed out the work and read them to each other and discussed whether addition of adjectives/adverbs or stronger verbs was more powerful and created stronger images in the mind of the reader. Then while Sadie worked on a new draft, Devin and I went over his draft.

Lesson Comments
Devin has extra homework. it's an in-class piece that he didn't do this week when he was absent (and I only noticed today.)
devin caught up quickly to Sadie and he had an easier tiem with the in-class work today than she did. His draft essay needs lots of work. I need to keep working with him on writing.
