Today, we did a lot of work on central arguments. We learned how to recognize them and then add them into our essays. Additionally, we had our first lesson in grammar: Run-on sentences.
Students learned that they have choices when it comes to fixing run-ons:
- period
- semi colon (impress those bosses and English profs)
- , coordinating conjunctions (FAN BOYS)
Homework: Revise discovery drafts for central argument.
Thursday: Get ready to research!!
Best,
KK

In this passage the author of “Our School and Our Children” Mike Rose. He wants to talk and point out some of the major problems that our schools are facing in America. Most of our schools in the United States are low structured, and all teachers are giving up on their students in their education level. Therefore they pass the student because they have no chose even though the student isn’t literate, student that don’t meet academic standard. Writing quizzes that seem hard or impossible, that confuse them that they fail. And when student pass all these grades and cannot read or write on a high school level they drop out, or just stay in ESL for most of their English classes.
However the biggest and main problem is how “We” criticize our school, we tend to frame our reflection interims of decline. And never look to the past, the one that never had exists. Although is a good thing to learn for the past, but to tend to make it like it didn’t happen at all. “Our Purpose, finally is to root out and disease and too often to punish” in Mike Rose words. Limiting students from facing the same problems and struggling to face in like we should, A Major Problem that ever school is facing. And also make our students a comfort area to study at home, to make him a better student.
