What did you learn? (See-Through Science)
March 20, 2013 | Posted in: Class Updates, Homework Assignments
In class, we have started to learn about expository writing. Our first step was to compare expository (non-fiction) writing to the more familiar narrative (story) kind of writing. We looked at the many common traits that both styles share, but (perhaps more importantly), we looked at how the two styles of writing are different.
Today, your assignment is to read the passage “See through science.” (If your “Reads with Fluency” report card grade wasn’t what you wanted, consider reading the article aloud to someone at home.) Afterwards, please login to the website and post a comment in which you tell us what you learned. Each sentence should begin with “I learned…” Focus on the KIND of information you learned, not on what specific facts you learned. This is one of those funny situations where I do NOT want you to be specific. Being general is better, as long as you aren’t TOO general. For example:
TOO SPECIFIC: I learned that the app Hugh Turvey made shows you objects for each letter of the alphabet and will show you x-ray views that you can rotate by swiping the screen.
TOO GENERAL: I learned about the app.
JUST RIGHT: I learned how Hugh Turvey’s x-ray app works.
Don’t just put down one thing you learned. Instead, list (DON’T EXPLAIN – yes, I DON’T want you to explain) all the different kinds of information that you learned. (Hint: Consider going paragraph-by-paragraph.) Yes, you may reuse my sample “I learned…” sentence!
We’ll work on this tomorrow or Friday! Need a copy of the article? Click HERE to download it!
