We read a Mark Twain story today entitled "The man who corruped Haddleyburg." This is a very good example of satire. Satirical essay due Friday.
2nd Period - Honors:
We discussed the Didactic lessons learned from pages 332 - 341. The write-up on these is due tomorrow. We will be choosing a philosophy and philosopher to research tomorrow.
3rd Per - 8th Grade:
- Vocab week 5 and journal week 4 were due today.
- We worked on outlines for our persuasive papers today.
- Outlines are the skeleton structure that we can build a paper around. Here is a rather silly but effective example of an outline we wrote together in class:
2. Cheese is great for your complexion:
a. Works as a good foundation for makeup.
b. Helps clear out your pores.
c. Fills in wrinkles
i. Gouda is the best.
ii. Swiss cheese is worst.
iii. Don't use anything more than 50 days old.
3. Cheese helps attract potential mates:
a. whitens teeth
i. This saves money you would normally have spent on whitening strips so you can spend more on your date.
b. Great deodorant.
i. See the advice about Gouda vs. Swiss cheese from the previous paragraph.
c. Expensive cheese tells members of the opposite sex you have money, class, and style.
4. Cheese is fun to play with:
a. Use it as a cheap alternative to playdoh.
i. Can come in different colors.
1. Moldy green, slimy yellow, rotten black, wormy white, etc.
b. Explodes when combined with Nitro Glycerin.
c. Can be wadded up into little balls and thrown at annoying younger siblings.
5. Therefore, Cheese is a miracle food because it is great for your complexion, helps with your love life, and is fun to play with. Go get your 2 pound brick of Mild Cheddar today!
Once the outline is filled out and organized, it is a relatively simple matter to write the rough draft, revise and edit and turn it into a real paper with a final draft for turning in.
