Day 11 NE

Do Now: What questions or concerns do you have about synthesis? How could practicing this skill prove useful?

Today's Learning Target:
I will be able to define synthesis and practice crafting synthesis assertion based on No Exit and "Five Characters in Search of an Exit."
I will know that I have hit the learning target when...
-I can list similarities and differences between the two texts.
-I can draw a conclusion based on these similarities and differences and express it in synthesis statement form.

Agenda: 

1. Synthesis work continued (Steps 3-4)
2. Sharing our synthesis drafts
3. Supporting a synthesis argument
4. Exit Ticket: What is clearer/more confusing about synthesis?

Small Daily Task: Continue journaling on short-fiction texts #2 and #3.
