SENIORS: Keep writing! Don't let your "inner editor" tell you that what you're writing is no good; you'll fix it in December when we get into revising and editing. The important thing now is to get those ideas out of your head and into your novel.
SOPHOMORES: The class worked on the last of the text structures: Cause-Effect. All of the following work goes into your notebook under the title Fast Food. Look at the graphic organizer for Cause-Effect on the Five Expository Text Structures handout. Using that graphic organizer (draw it in your notebook), read this article (here is the link; don't forget to read the information in the side box) and transfer the information from the article into the graphic organizer. After that is complete, go over the article again, reading for appeals and evidence. Write down examples and label them.
Examples: "It's like something a mad scientist would come up with." Pathos
"McDonald's is the largest purchaser of potatoes in the United States." Fact
Try to find at least one example for each type of appeal and each type of evidence; if an example isn't there, don't worry about it.
