Choice Blog Post for Vocab

Here is one last chance for those of you who have not yet included the required vocabulary (two noted & used correctly terms from your Book Club novel) in a post. Please complete the following:

A) Compose a new, original paragraph (of choice - narrative, informative, or argumentative). Post it as a comment under this post. (Remember to copy your work before going through the submission process so it does not disappear.)

B) LABEL your paragraph choice (narrative, informative, or argumentative) & include your FIRST NAME.

C) Correctly use and identify (at the bottom of the post) 2 vocab words.

Mrs. Musick and Miss Foyle will be touching base with you about your progress on the blog post assignments and on your vocabulary usage.

*If you are interested in revising one of your previous paragraphs (after getting your rubric back), please see your respective Book Club teacher. Remember, the overarching goal here is to make sure everyone can both distinguish among the three purposes for writing AND compose each one with appropriate structure and support.

Argumentative Paragraph Post

Please post your argumentative paragraph in the comments below:

1) First Name (and last initial, if necessary)
2) Title of Novel (HobbitBeowulfSir Gawain and the Green Knight)
3) Your Argumentative Writing Paragraph about your book club novel

*REMEMBER to include at least 2 vocab (from your novel that you've looked up as part of your assignment) in at least one of your entries.


To view how you will be scored, click here for the rubric.

*Remember...argumentative writing makes claims/opinions and then backs them up with facts and evidence from the novel. (Strong arguments also make counterclaims and do not drag on and on - make your point quick and then back it up quickly too!)

Have fun! We look forward to reading your entries...
