ELA 30

Your questions are due for "Man with a Camera" or "Our Corner."
Your writing assignment regarding "would you speak up?" is due.


We have been reading a personal essay entitled "Under the Influence" by Scott R. Sanders. This is to help us learn about choices, and how our choices impact others.

Yesterday we talked a little bit about regret and then wrote about a decision we regret.

What is the decision you regret?
Who did you affect by making this decision?
What lessons did you learn?
What changes have you made?


Your job during reading is to come up with six types of questions.

6 Types (1 for each): Facts, Feelings, Cautionary, Positive, Creative, Deep Understanding.


Today in P.4 you will be with Mr. Moore:

Your job is to write two FORMAL (topic sentences, proper grammar, closing sentences, three well explained main points) paragraphs answering the questions below.

1. In a well developed parapgrah discuss how the 'decisions' of Sanders' father affected Sanders.

2. In a persuasive (argue only one side) paragraph decide whether or not addiction is a choice. Use informed arguments to build your case- remember you need 3 main supporting points.

When complete please have someone you trust proof your paragraphs for spelling, proper sentence structure, grammar, etc. and then type in 'formal assignment format.'

DUE: Monday, March 7.
