Dr. Dre Says ...
Take notes on all of this please - it's all testable. Vocabulary -
adjectives: words that describe nouns.
thesis: your main argument or point in an essay
setting: where a story takes place. Like the forest for Shrek
First,
Let's get a better idea about setting.
Watch this clip of Rocky training
Adjectives and setting are like cousins. They are related.
To Do:
1. Describe Rocky
2. Describe how Rocky trains
3. Describe how the Russian trains
4. From this one clip, can you tell who is the hero - and who is the villain?
Can you get a feel for a movie's setting and plot from one little clip?
Next,
A Thesis is your main point in an essay.
It's what you plan to argue, or prove.
To Do:
First - Read this group of facts
- Bigfoot is spotted in California forests all the time
- Native American tribes have legends of Bigfoot
- Bigfoot has been spotted in all 50 states
- Bigfoot has been seen in Ohio
- Bigfoot has been spotted in almost every country in the world.
Next - Write a sentence tying all the facts together.
How about ....
Many people believe in Bigfoot ... or ... A lot of evidence points to Bigfoot being real.
Let's try another angle here ...
Imagine you are caught out past curfew by a police officer.
You got a text that someone in your family was sick so you were rushing home to help.
The police officer wouldn't listen to you, and said you had to appear before a judge.
You decided to write a letter to the judge. What would your thesis be? (What is your main point?)
- Write out the main point you would be arguing to the judge.
Next,
Write a half page short story - FICTION - about a kid who goes to a crazy new school and has a weird first day.A day where everything goes terribly wrong.
Use a TON of adjectives. 10 adjectives = a 3 on the Marzano scale.
20 adjectives = a 4 on our grading scale.
