Today in class we reviewed the Initial Planning Sheet, document search, developing thesis sentences and how to start your Social Entrepreneur essay. In the early class we used Mimi Silbert as a case study. I believe 3-4 students have chosen her as their subject. I saw several planning sheets completed but the specifics or details, especially with regards to the "question students wanted the essay to answer, was not strong enough." The planning is almost more important than the writing itself. A good plan almost always means the essay will be successful. A poor plan or no plan yeilds the same. I will show students a video on revision next week as well as one on argumentation in the next two weeks. Bring your Alehouse to class starting next week.
I did make copies of Lysistrata, I hope we have time to read it in class.
In the second class several students shared their planning and document searches and spoke a bit about their subject and where they were going with the research and profile. Many thanks to Jennie, Peter, Chelsea, and James.
Some students still hadn't decided on a SE. Suggestions were East Oakland Youth Development Center director, The Ella Baker Center (one of the programs with a woman director), the woman who works with Dr. Joe Marshall at Omega Boys and Girls Club, Adrianna Rodriguez, one of the founders of the East Side Arts Alliance. I also mentioned Youth Uprising, Fania Davis's RJOY (violence mediation and training for youth and those who work with youth), Lynette Lee at the East Bay Asian Local Development Corporation in Oakland. She was a KQED Local Hero.
Homework
Homework is to complete the Planning Sheet, the document search and start reading the material. After you become an expert, do the topical invention to develop 4 sentence, and the 3-part thesis. If you want to do mapping first and then the thesis sentences it's up to you. The outline follows this.
Then start writing the essay. Bring in an introduction on Monday, May 3, 2010. You will have a peer review on Thursday, May 6, 2010.
In SPHE we are on the Parallel Structure essay, Essay Exam 3. We will have the quiz next week. The essay is an in-class essay. We might write it on Wednesday. We can go over the errors on Monday-Tuesday. Keep going in the book. The last essay is Subject Verb Agreement. It is a take home essay.
Have a great weekend!
