During the first segment of the session, JP completed an AP review exercise on Unit 7. I provided assistance where JP raised questions. I then distributed a practice argumentative essay prompt . After we discussed the thesis of the prompt, I provided suggestions on how to draft a brief outline before writing. Once JP decided on the position he wished to argue, we reviewed how to formulate an essay thesis that does more than restate the prompt. I further reviewed how JP could add structure to his essay by defining certain terms from the prompt that are subject to interpretation , such as respect or how one can convey respect. JP will write the essay for homework due on Monday.
