Last day to work on the poster! When you get it done, there is an upright stack behind my desk that is held up by a magnet. Add yours to the collection and MAKE SURE YOU LEAVE A DROP BOX MESSAGE FOR ME.
I grade using rubrics, so if I don’t get the drop box, I won’t able to grade it!
Glad to see everyone here after the break!
Final exams are next week, so you *really* need to focus on getting those grades up to par by the end of the week!
Today, we worked on the Moral Thermometer! Have a great Spring Break and I better see all of you well rested and healthy on the 16th when we get back! š
I’m not here today. I’m taking a yucky three hour blood test. All we are doing today is working on the Moral Thermometer!
A thermometer measures temperature ā today, we will create a thermometer that measures morality.
Things that need to be included on the poster:
1. A Title
2. Thermometer with the ten main characters and Isaac Morris on the scale in order of the guilt that you have assigned.
3. An explanation of what each personās crime was and a justification of *why* you placed it where you placed it (print and paste on the poster)
4. A definition of morality
I am going to be focusing on your sentence variety and embedded quotes. Make sure you have your OWN opinion included as well. Otherwise, what’s the purpose?
I gave you all a PowerPoint with how to vary your sentences and even gave you an example of how a student did it – with a little help from the Captain. š
Here are Daniel’s notes about the Knight from the Cheat Sheet:
He took that and came up with this for the chart:
NOTE: Here, you can see the beginnings of his opinion. THIS IS GOOD!
Lastly, he took both of those items and came up with this, focusing on his sentence structure and variety. He used the PowerPoint to help him when he got stuck. It has links that you can click on!
I put the paragraph in two formats for you: the first is just typed in Word, and the second is put in a text box. I personally find the text boxes easier to manage when making a poster, but creative design is up to you!
Remember, in the infamous words of the Bollato ā before you can āfrost and sprinkleā, you have to ābake the cakeā.
we worked on our Moral and Corrupt Pre-writing. Using our cheat sheets, we individually decided who were the top five most CORRUPT pilgrims, and the top five most MORAL characters.
In Blackboard, there are two documents to fill out: The Moral Pre-Writing and the Corrupt Pre-Writing. Fill it out with an explanation and quote that proves your point. Make sure that you are using quotes that are accurate!
Corrupt is BLUE with dark blue being the MOST corrupt.
Moral is purple with the darkest purple being the most moral.
Make sure that you are integrating YOUR ideas along with what the text says!
DONāT FORGET THE BIG IDEA FOR EACH ONE!
You will not be able to do the poster without doing the pre-writing, and it will be WAY easier to write the paper if all of this is done. Itās like a ladder ā in order to reach the top, you have to work your way up.
Since so many people need time to work on late work, I gave another work day. š
