Learning Objective for the Week:
Students will be able to respond in discussions and in writing, using personal,
literal, interpretative, and evaluative stances, to works of non-fiction by using the exemplar text of Persepolis. Students will be able to use strategies before, during, and after reading to aid in the construction and enhancement of meaning by reading and annotating the Persepolis. Students will be able to engage in informal writing assignments (i.e. reader response, freewriting, focused freewriting, prediction, response journals, dialectical notebook entries, and other pieces of writing that they do not take through the entire writing process) by using a writers journal.
Students will be able to engage in formal writing assignments that require
utilization of all stages of the writing process by using the writers journal for pre- writing and rough drafts
