Reading Class H/W - Last week's H/W
I will extend the due date for 'family word choice analysis until Wednesday. - This is graded!
1) Follow the word choice protocol
2) Identify patterns from words collected
3) Interpret patterns and offer an analysis
Tonight's reading H/W (Due: Wed) - Close Reading Text Evidence Practice
Study the evidence you choose for yourself. Look at your bedroom, your wardrobe, you music, your friends. Make a list of all of the ‘things’ in your life. What patterns can you see? What do these patterns say about you?By examining the main things you surround yourself by, the text evidence in this case, you should be able to draw some profound conclusions about yourself. Present your results in a blog post similar to last time. Approx. length of text - short paragraph supported by an image if possible. Membean: Total 40minutes this week (20 at home) - By Friday
Writing Classes Reminder!
Make sure you have your list of sources for your research project and at least one book or magazine for Tuesday's class. Many of you will have chosen to organize your sources on a pinterest board.

I noticed your use of the word, "Profound" in this post. Membean word! It means sophisticated and professional sounding.
Do you have do pin a pintrest or can you just have your resources?
+1 K.
you can just have your resources M.
Im having trouble finding books and magazines about celebrity depression and I though it was going to be easy. any ideas?
This is the purpose of the entire assignment. If you cannot find the sources for your research, what does that say about your topic choice?
My advice is to hit the library tomorrow and look for books on mental illnesses.
Look for sources on the celebrities themselves that yo think have suffered these illnesses.
Ultimately, their is learning in the struggle - The search is the most important aspect of research and discovering that your topic is just too narrow is part of the learning.
I can't give you more tips as the purpose of the assignment is for you to work through the struggle and find a solution.
I think that the "Text Evidence" On ourselves will be interesting> It will either confirm what I know or change my point of View.
Interested to see what you find....
Mr.Buxton
How do you find a meaningful topic that's easy to research about because I want to go into more depth into my topic. Are we going to write our own feature article after this.
Thanks
Yes David.
