Finished watching The Miracle Worker

Today we finished watching The Miracle Worker.

I also discussed some items for the test you will have Thursday. (I wanted it to be on Wednesday, but we have morning mass at the Shrine Church).

I mentioned the essay you will be writing on:
What makes Annie a Miracle Worker?

Things to consider while drafting tonight:

• What is a miracle?
• What obstacles/hardships did Annie have to overcome to become a miracle worker?

Necessities for the essay:

• introductory paragraph with thesis statement at the end of the intro.  (3 sentences or so).  Your thesis may be three points or not.  The organization of the number of body paragraphs is up to you
• body paragraphs with textual evidence to support.  The acts are on the side of this blog.
• conclusion: simply restate thesis (2 sentences)
• No 1st or 2nd person
• 150-250 words
• due Thursday when you walk in.  You will be unable to print it out on Thursday, so do not expect extra time.  If you have a special circumstance regarding technical difficulties, please have your mom or dad email or write me a note stating the circumstance so we can think of a solution.

We will review tomorrow in regards to the multiple choice portion of the test you will take Thursday.

HOMEWORK:

Create a rough draft of your essay so that you can workshop it tomorrow.

If you do not bring a rough draft in tomorrow, you will be starting it in class!
