Lesson Notes:
Writing Class Today's Material
Adding WARRANTS (rules/status quo) to quote sandwiches
Warrant Vocabulary:
As a rule, Generally, More often than not, In many stances, Since... etc
Warrant Examples from today:
a)
National Federation of State High School Activity Associations indicates that it promotes “participation and sportsmanship” in an effort to “develop good citizens through interscholastic activities which provide equitable opportunities, positive recognition and learning experiences to students while maximizing the achievement of educational goals.” Generally, most people are not aware of the additional benefits young people receive from competitive sport. Not only does competitive sports help give a tough and fun environment for kids, they also help develop a positive future and a safe place for kids to enjoy their free and after school time.
b)
According to Dr. Charles Bush Joseph, at the Chicago university, “To many kids push themselves too hard and end up injured.” As a rule, most youngsters nowadays remain unaware of their own limitations and push themselves too hard. This shows that when kids get serious about a competitive sport they don't think about safety and what is best for them. Dance and Gymnastics and cheerleading can lead to extreme injuries because kids push themselves too hard. The harder kids push themselves the more likely they will get injured.

The lesson today about parellel structure really cleared it up. I was really confused about it, but now it is crystal clear. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYou comment almost every day. +1
ReplyDeleteThank you Mr. Buxton!
ReplyDeleteMr. Buxton- For the parallel structure song, do we have to use all of the paired conjunctions or can we do a few? Thanks
ReplyDeleteMr. Buxton- also for the song, do we have to make a song or can we make a story? Thanks
ReplyDeleteYeah I agree with Jordan, parallel structure can be very hard. I was very confused until today.
ReplyDeleteMadeline- We do have to use all of the conjunctions. We should have a total of around 8 sentences. You could reuse them. And I assume it has to be a song because that is what he said. You might want to go talk to him though. Hope I was helpful!
ReplyDeletethe majority, but not all.
ReplyDeleteyou can do a story if you choose.
I have a question, how do we use the link to study for the test?
