Write a multi-paragraph essay in which you argue the extent to which both Romeo and Juliet are impulsive by analyzing their behaviors during similar circumstances. Then, answer the "so what" question: So what?! Who cares?! Why does this matter?!
- Today, we are continuing to "zero in" on the "so what?!"!
--ThinkCERCA instructions shared for submitting paragraphs
- Notes:
- Skip "Step 1" as we have already engaged with the text at length. (Also, the directions do not match your purposes!)
- Skip "Step 2" as well since you have already completed an outline on paper via the "A Paragraph's a Paragraph's a Paragraph! (CER)" document.
- Using your outline, type a paragraph in response to the two questions posed. Strongly consider typing your paragraph in Google Docs before logging in to ThinkCERCA.
- Include your paragraph response in the field titled "Write a formal argument" after logging in to ThinkCERCA. (Please keep in mind, though, that the paragraph you crafted is not really an argument!). Submit your paragraph by clicking the "SUBMIT ASSIGNMENT" button.
- During this time, I will continue conducting one-on-one meetings.
- How might you incorporate the information from Daniel J. Siegel's article in your End-of-Unit essay?
- turn and talk
- whole-class share-out
