WNB: Pick a superpower: flight or invisibility? Write a half page response presenting a claim with reasons and evidence for support.
After reviewing the STAAR test with students yesterday, I determined that there are four areas of grammar that we can easily improve. Students worked in groups to curate lessons and quizzes that effectively teach those skills and shared the links on collaborative Slides. After sharing their own findings, they looked at the other lessons and quizzes. We also talked about what makes a reputable website--students did a good job of selecting good sites! (Absent students should read through each lesson and complete at least one quiz.)
To further our understanding of logos, ethos, and pathos, we watched two speeches and evaluated them for effectiveness in each of those areas using a chart like the one below.
Speech 1 - Ashton Kutcher at the 2013 Teen Choice Awards
Speech 2 - Elle Woods in Legally Blonde 2
