Mrs. Hopkins is still absent today. Please find all instructions for today here on the website. Please begin class with our daily writing. Our prompt is below. Once again, you will only be writing for SIX MINUTES today. Here is a link to the handy online timer Mrs. Hopkins uses: http://www.online-stopwatch.com/countdown-timer/ After writing time is over, please quickly grab Chromebooks. You will begin the first stages of writing an essay on Julius Caesar today. You can view the assignment below. The five stages required for this assignment are brainstorm, outline, first draft, peer edit, and final draft. There are 8 possible prompts for your essay. You will ultimately choose one to write about. Today, however, you will be focusing on the first stage: brainstorm. Create a new document, titled “JC Brainstorm.” Please brainstorm answers to all 8 prompts. Point to places in the text that would support your viewpoint. Please note that the first 6 options require you to argue for or against the stated position, whereas the last two are open-ended and ask you to formulate your own opinion. At the end of your brainstorm, please indicate which prompt you will be focusing on for your formal essay. Your brainstorm for ALL 8 prompts is due to Turnitin.com before class begins tomorrow.
