Creating an Expository Paragraph Plan

We spent the beginning of our class today completing Term One reviews.  Students will use these reviews in our Term End Conversations next week, to help determine an appropriate letter grade and work habit designation.  Students have been asked to consider where their strengths are, and which areas they need to improve, related to both behaviour and achievement.  Mentors have been asked to consider strengths and areas for improvement, overall.

We then began to construct a plan for an expository paragraph on the poem, "Television."  The topic for the paragraph was as follows: Discuss the theme of the poem, "Television".  We created a topic sentence together, and then we began to practice using text evidence as support for this topic sentence.  We will complete these outlines next class.
