  1. Unit 5 Assessment

  2. Be Computer Literate • Actually read the directions and the descriptions on my website. They will bring to exactly where you need to be. • Scroll down, sometimes there are so many notes and files that you may need to scroll to find the exact one you want. • Especially when you are absent!

  3. Time Matters Ask for an extension if you need one. (Not the day before the due date.) There are consequences to being late: • At Starbucks, you may not get a tip or get fired. • In business you may not get a job. • In drama or music class/performance you may flunk an audition or embarrass yourself. • In the military you may be passed over for a promotion, fail training, put your life and your fellow soldiers at risk.

  4. Unit 5 Assessment • More often than not- well done. • Most people compared their methods to the Dust Bowl and the Egyptians. • Maya close second place. • Follow Directions! • Serious points lost here • Political cartoons were great

  5. Detail • Don’t talk about generalities • Mature writing is specific and precise • Example: • The drought killed people. • The drought’s severity caused crops to die. With no crops, soon farm animals perished as well. With no vegetation or meat, farmers were left with two options: leave or starve. • Stats make detail even better!

  6. Relevance • Tie your historical examples back to your argument. • Otherwise, it looks out of place- like you are just telling me about a society. • The Egyptians and Ancient Mayas certainly would have benefited from cloud seeding. Specifically, with cloud seeding, they could improve crop yields and increase social stability by transcending the limits of the environment.

  7. Fakebook • Social Networking is Serious $ • Humor is great, but actual facts and people are more effective • Remember your purpose: persuade public officials

  8. Captions and Pictures • Tie them back to your argument and be persuasive. • Your job is to get me to give your cause money (or take money away). • Don’t restate the obvious. • Boy Smiles at Mom • Or • Child Celebrates Another Year of Small Pox Free Living

  9. Headlines • Take your pick: • Unit 5 Assessment • OR • Small Pox Vaccine Kills Thousands, Don’t Be Counted Among the Dead!

  10. Grammar • 1930s not 1930’s (unless the year owns something) • GMOs not GMO’s (unless they own something) • Their- possession • They’re- They are • There- place • Proofread your work, you will catch most of your errors.

  11. Where to go next… • Mr. McLaughlin • Dr. Mordente • Periodicals/the Newspaper • Block 1: Jack Lamberto • Videos, pictures, phrasing • Block 3: Courtney Cooper • Detail Selection and Work Ethic • Block 4: Zoltan Roemer • Work Ethic, Specific + Creative Examples, Formating • Block 5: Grace Haumersen • Pictures, Explanation, Examples, Topic
