Warm up: quickwrite
I passed out an AXES paragraph handout with sentence frames today. This will be the way I expect you to answer any short constructed responses. We will build off this later to create body paragraphs for essays, so you need to hold on to this sheet for the duration of the year. You had the period today to finish the Close Read: Story of an Hour assignment on StudySync. For the questions at the top of the "Read" tab: highlight the text where you find the answer and then write your response to the question as the annotation. For the "Write" portion: use the back of the handout to gather evidence and create a rough draft of your response. Then write your response using the AXES handout. Most people did not finish today. You will have time to finish tomorrow after the Blast activity.
