Sorry I am not there today. A bad bout of the flu is preventing my attendance. However, you should be able to use my absence to your benefit. Please read and follow the instructions below:
1) In preparation for our field trip on Monday, please read this review of the film from Rolling Stone Magazine. It's important for you to have some context about what you are going to see in the film, so read carefully.
2) You may continue to REVISE your Preamble paragraphs. Consider what you brought in for today a draft. I encourage you to (or even better, have someone else) read them over and ask the following questions:
- Did I follow the format for each paragraph including the first sentence (assertion), the definition of the Preamble section, and using details to prove the assertion?
- Do I have enough SPECIFIC details to support my assertion?
- Did I link the details back to my assertion so my readers know WHY they prove it?
If the answer to any of the questions is "no" then you have the opportunity to revise. The final version of your paragraphs will be due at your next class period.
3) If you've answered yes to each of the questions in #2 above, then you may work on the creative portion of your project. This may include planning it out (creating a sketch or a plan), or finding or drawing images to use.
Don't forget to turn in your field trip permissions and $. Please be in the front lobby on Wednesday at 11:25 AM.
