Objective:  I can produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization, and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience (W11-12.4).
Agenda:
  • Entry Task:  Quickwrite--what are some of the rules you learned in kindergarten?  To what extent are those rules still applicable to life for you today?
  • Copy the definition of credo and precept into your journal
    • Credo:  A personal statement about life
    • Precept:  A rule, instruction, or principle that guides somebody’s actions and/or moral behavior
  • Follow along, highlight phrases you agree with, as we read Robert Fulghum’s “All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten”
  • After reading, review at least 5 statements we highlighted as a class
  • If a personal credo can be considered a literary genre, what are some conventions that would characterize this genre based on Fulghum’s example?  Find and label the following:
    • Imperative sentence
    • Compound sentence with parallel structure
    • Dash--
    • Ellipsis . . .
    • Polysyndeton is a literary technique in which conjunctions (e.g. and, but, or) are used repeatedly in quick succession, often with no commas, even when the conjunctions could be removed.
  • Review the directions for “My Credo” in your Journal Rubric
    • Fold and tape the reading into your work
    • Begin with your perception of life, identify where you learned important precepts
    • List your 14-16 precepts, using at least 3 of the syntactic structures analyzed
    • Close with a reflective commentary and a related call to action
  • Exit Task:  Be ready to type your credo tomorrow; we will also take a test over all three sets of vocabulary.
