Today we looked at a professional essay from Time magazine. We looked at what made the essay good. Each group read the essay, outlined the essay, and then we discussed the organization of the essay as a class. The article is here.
We also discussed how the picture functioned as a grabber and how the quotes and style of the article worked as great focus. The writing test is the FIRST of the basic skills test on February 2nd.
Have a great weekend!
Utah Basic Skills Competency Test here. There are sample tests and it will answer questions at the link as well. :o)
