Ninth Class Period: Analyzing Nonfiction

Mr. Stone described the common ways nonfiction is divided. He defined essay, formal essay, informal essay, narrative easy, persuasive essay, reflective essay, biographical and autobiographical writing. He pointed out to students the relationship between the students expository writing assignments and the terms under discussion, including main point and supporting details.

Students began working with class mates to complete reading strategy worksheet 167 (Finding Writer's Main Points and Support), literary analysis worksheet 164 (essay), and literary analysis worksheet 168 (biographical and autobiographical writing).

Mr. Stone announced the nonfiction unit test will be given over the last two class periods of each section next week.

Homework: Finish the three worksheets began in class.
