02/27/17 – 03/03/17
8th Grade
English (Periods 1, 2, 3, 5B, 6, 7, 8):
Monday (02/27): Students
will finish reviewing a sample PSSA TDA response that scored a 4. Students will
highlight and mark key items in the response while examining its structure.
Students will then view another TDA prompt (based on the selection in the
textbook) that they will begin to work on. Some students will work with
partners while others will work independently on this prompt. We will finish
responses to this prompt in class tomorrow.
Tuesday (02/28): Students
will finish writing their response to the TDA prompt and turn it in to be
scored. Students will then complete the “analyze the text” questions on the
bottom of page 282. We will discuss responses together.
Wednesday (03/01): Students
will read page 283 in the textbook on Craft and Structure: “Author’s Argument.”
Students will then complete the chart and questions on the bottom of page 283.
We will discuss responses together. Students will begin to place items from the
selection into a graphic organizer as a way to break down the text and see the
argumentative structure of it.
Thursday (03/02):
Students will finish filling in the argument “bug” (graphic organizer). They
will turn in the bug organizer before they leave class today.
Friday (03/03): Students
will complete a PSSA TDA prompt and turn it in for a grade before they leave
class. Students will then complete page 284 in the textbook (Concept
Vocabulary) and page 285 (Conventions: Clauses).
