Welcome! • Come in and grab your spot! • Take out the chapter 11 text we used the other day. I have extras at the front of the room if you need a copy.
That’s What it’s All About… • Agenda • Raise the Bones of Chapter 11-Circuit Training • Work Sample • Learning Targets • I can identify how the elements of narrative, word choice, and sentence structure work in a text. • I can work with my peers to understand how the elements come together. • I can write a work sample to that brings together the work we have been doing.
