Agenda: independent study
Q. Q. Song
essay revising

HW: Read 20-30 minutes

Hey everyone! Hope you had a good weekend. I am sitting here thinking about how different things are today compared to a couple of weeks ago. That life before seems like it was so long ago. What do you miss about life before? 

Ok, let's get to our quote of the week: "To every girl out there, to every boy out there, [...] who just wants to live their dream out, you are not lesser just because you're a girl. You are not better just because you're a boy." Megan Rapinoe 

Megan Rapinoe is a member of the US Women's National Soccer team and has been fighting for equal pay for women on the national team. 

Make sure you write about what you think she means. 

Question of the Week: What are you most afraid of? 

Song of the Week: "This is a Man's World" by James Brown

LYRICS
This is a man's world, this is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a Girl

You see, man made the cars to take us over the road
Man made the trains to carry heavy loads
Man made electric light to take us out of the dark
Man made the boat for the water, like Noah made the ark
This is a man's, a man's, a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a Girl

Man thinks about a little baby girls and a baby boys
Man makes then happy 'cause man makes them toys
And after man has made everything, everything he can
You know that man makes money to buy from other man
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a Girl

He's lost in the wilderness
He's lost in bitterness

Make sure you write what you think this song is about and your favorite lyric. 

OK, the only other thing you need to do today is read through your essays. I recommend you read them out loud to a friend on the phone or someone at home. 

Title: do you have one? 

Intro paragraph: 
Do you have a strong lead? 
Do you state your thesis?
Are your reasons clear? 

Body paragraphs: 
Is your reason clear? 
Do you cite the best evidence to support your reason? 
Do you have page numbers for at least two pieces of evidence? 
Do you connect your evidence back to your reason and your thesis? 

Conclusion: 
Do you have a conclusion? 
Do you summarize your reasons? 
Do you restate your thesis? 
Do you connect to your lead? 

That's it for today!
