Notebook Item #1 Notebook Items are a chance for you to transition into the right mindset for the day’s class. Prompt responses should be about a half-page long to receive full credit. You might not always answer each question, but make sure to address a majority of them and write close to a half-page. You should be writing for 7-10 minutes minimum without talking. We will typically discuss after everyone has had an adequate amount of time to think and respond. Where do you see yourself in years? What are you doing for employment, leisure, and to give back? Do you know anyone who has experience in these lines of work, hobby, and/or service? (try to list one for each)

Claim, Evidence, & Warrant Notes
Notebook Item #3 Claim, Evidence, & Warrant Notes

*What is a claim? Should be: engaging, logical, and debatable
Claim: The overall focus statement of a paper (Thesis) or of a paragraph (Topic Sentence). This starts your argument. Should be: engaging, logical, and debatable Should Not Be: obvious, vague, or simply opinion

Opinion vs. Arguable Claim
-Opinion (alone) and Vague = Bad -Twinkies are delicious. -Virginia Woolf is better than James Joyce. -Our mayor stinks.

Opinion vs. Arguable Claim
-Arguable and Descriptive = Better (though still not great) -Twinkies are a superior snack cake because of the spongy texture, the creamy filling, and the golden appearance. -Virginia Woolf is a more effective writer than James Joyce because she does not rely on elaborate language that ultimately confuses and alienates readers, her works include themes that are timeless, and her writing reveals more imagination. -The mayor has done a poor job and continually does the community a disservice by misusing money, focusing on unimportant issues, and failing to listen to constituents.

*What is Evidence? Evidence: Data (facts, statistics, studies) gathered to support the claim. -Twinkies are a superior snack cake because of the spongy texture, the creamy filling, and the golden appearance. -Virginia Woolf is a more effective writer than James Joyce because she does not rely on elaborate language that ultimately confuses and alienates readers, her works include themes that are timeless, and her writing reveals more imagination. -The mayor has done a poor job and continually does the community a disservice by misusing money, focusing on unimportant issues, and failing to listen to constituents. What would you search for?

Examples of Evidence -Twinkies-A study on density, customer satisfaction polls/ratings, overall sales, physiologist's research on the color yellow. -Virginia Woolf /James Joyce- book sales, online reviews and blogs, number of fan sites. -Our mayor stinks-Approval rating, approval rating compared to other cities of similar size, city spending overall, What happens if you can’t find this evidence, or you find evidence saying the opposite?

Talk about the smoking gun of getting knocked out at lunch

What is Warrant? Warrant: Explanation of why or how the evidence supports the claim, the underlying assumption that connects your evidence to your claim. (Commentary) Explains the significance of the evidence Usually three to five sentences long Talk about the smoking gun of getting knocked out at lunch

*Additional Terms Backing (also referred to as the foundation): Additional logic or reasoning that may be necessary to support the warrant. Counterclaim: A claim that would seem to negate or disagree with the claim (what the other side would say in disagreement). Rebuttal: Evidence that negates, disagrees with, or disproves the counterclaim.

Rebuttal Don't avoid the opposing side of an argument. Instead, include the opposing side as a counterclaim. Find out what the other side is saying and respond to it within your own argument. This is important so that the audience is not swayed by weak, unrefuted, arguments. This makes you look more credible because you appear to be knowledgeable about the entirety of the debate rather than just being biased to your position and/or uniformed. The only reason to bring in a counterclaim is if you plan to refute it. Don’t destroy your own argument.

Example Claim: Mandating Hybrid or Alternative Energy cars is the most effective and plausible strategy to fight pollution on the planet Earth. Evidence: Driving a private car is a typical citizen's most air polluting activity. (source) Evidence: Private pollution causes more overall harm to the environment than industry produced pollutants. (source) Warrant: Because cars are the largest source of private, as opposed to industry produced air pollution, switching to hybrid cars will have a significant impact on fighting pollution.

Example Evidence: Each vehicle produced typically stays on the road for roughly 12 to 15 years. (source) Warrant: Cars generally have a long lifespan, meaning that a decision to switch to a hybrid car will make a long-term impact on pollution levels. Evidence: The hybrid engine of the Prius, made by Toyota, produces 90 percent fewer harmful emissions than a comparable gasoline engine. (source) Warrant: Because the efficiency of new technology is exponentially better than the old, this will make a significant impact in overall pollution rather than just a slight improvement.

Example Counterclaim: Instead of focusing on cars, which still encourages a culture of driving even if it cuts down on pollution, the nation should focus on building and encouraging use of mass transit systems such as alternative energy busses and railroads. Rebuttal: While mass transit is an environmentally sound idea that should be encouraged, it is not feasible in many rural and suburban areas. Furthermore, automobiles are a symbol of freedom and most people want to have the ability to travel where they want, when they want. With this in mind, hybrid and alternative energy cars are a better solution for minimizing pollution in the United States.

You have a 10 point assignment on Google Classroom due by the end of class today. You will fill-out two similar looking graphic organizers outlining two claims and three pieces of potential evidence for each. You should spend the majority of your time on your first page and the second should be your backup paper topic at this point. If you are still unsure, come talk with me. I am happy to brainstorm with you! School Choice (a piece of proposed legislation that allows families to allocate their tax dollars or “vouchers” any specific school) should be implemented as a nation because we are falling behind the rest of the world academically, parents promote greater student achievement when they contribute to the decision of where their child goes to school, and competition improves all schools by forcing failing entities to change or lose funding. Data showing the performance of U.S. students vs other countries and the differences among our education system and theirs. Statistics or polls asking parents how much they would be involved in their child’s school if they could choose without additional costs incurred Evidence from states and/or countries that have made this change and how scores, attendance, drop-out rates and other metrics changed.

Notebook Item #12 “Kenning” Notes
A kenning is a figurative, compound expression used in place of a name or noun, especially in Old English or Old Norse poetry; for example, storm of swords is a kenning for battle. Early kennings were basically synonyms used to maintain alliteration of a line of poetry. [Alliteration required that at least two words begin with the same consonant sound.] They can also utilize rhyme to make them more memorable (like fender-bender). Kennings became so popular in their early stages that about one-third of the text of Beowulf contains them. Some are used over and over, to the point of being cliché (ring-giver in place of king). In the best kennings, one element of the phrase will create a striking, unexpected comparison. In Beowulf, kennings provide imagery and keep words from being overused. Below area few examples: sea stallion (ship) helmet bearers (warriors) battle sweat (blood) giver of gold (king) light of battle (sword) earth-hall (grave) Raise your hand when you think you know the following modern kennings: Gas guzzler, tree hugger, couch potato, man cave 1) A truck or SUV that isn’t very fuel efficient. 2) Someone who loves the forest so much they might literally embrace it. 3) A person who watches a lot TV that potentially eats a deep fried version of this product. 4) A term for a garage, basement, shop, or other area your dad or other home-owning male might utilize to hang up sports jerseys, play loud music, and hang out with friends.

Notebook Item #13 Review lines individually, then answer the following questions in your notebooks. -What do you notice about the conversations between Hrothgar and Beowulf? -What is Beowulf’s plan to defeat this malice maker? (use textual evidence to support your answer to this question) -Would you trust Beowulf if you were in the king’s position? Why or why not? (use textual evidence to support your answer to this question) Play Cartoon Version 1-9:22 (Unferth’s Questioning) If Time Allows

Notebook Item #13 This is what a textual response should look like:
In lines , our Hunting Hero tells us how his people (the Geats) convinced him he was the only hope for the Danes, and that his giant-killing credentials qualified him above all others. In our culture, boasting is often a sign of insecurity or otherwise rude/arrogant behavior. In these times, however, bragging showed confidence in ability and history of past success inasmuch as it may have modeled conceit. As a king in despair with few options available, I would trust him. Play Cartoon Version 1-9:22 (Unferth’s Questioning) If Time Allows

Notebook Item #14 “Kenning” Practice
Kennings can come in three forms. Look at the examples in the chart below and write down the name or noun represented beside each kenning.

Notebook Item #15 Today you will summarize lines Get into a group of 2-3 to accomplish this notebook item. Remember that you each need to do your own writing in your own notebooks to receive credit. Summarize what is happening in 20-line increments (8 summaries total). Some summaries will be longer than others as they may cover more ideas rather than spending a long time one detail in particular. Before I release you into groups, let’s practice this with lines as a whole class. Re-read and prepare to share. Seems like B might have lost the swim match, but blamed it on the storm and wanting to make it a good race. Tells us few things. First, we are introduced to Unferth, a new character to us, who appears to be important based on a genealogical reference and the fact he sits at Hrothgar’s feet. Second, we see that Unferth is not impressed or convinced by Beowulf’s story, though we are told it’s at least partially because of his own jealousy. He makes comments about Beowulf’s swimming story against someone named Brecca and says that they were both foolish and too prideful to listen to older, wiser men, especially since the match took place during the winter.

Notebook Item #16+ Re-read lines , the battle with Grendel. In your notebooks, complete the following tasks & respond to the questions individually. -Find and write down two kennings. Who or what do they refer to? -Find and write down two examples of Alliteration (repetition of consonant at the beginning of multiple words in a row.) What do those phrases describe? -Find an example of a metonymy (metaphor that subs one word for another closely associated with it—White House vs. President). What word does it replace? When finished, respond to the following questions: How does Beowulf defeat Grendel (use textual evidence). What meaning can we draw from this principle in the text? What seemingly impossible battles have you/someone close to you been faced with? How did you or he/she fight that battle? Why does our hero hang high the hand (and arm) of the Danes’ great tormentor? Where exactly does he place it? Why do you think he does this? Write a high interest, open-ended discussion question based on what we’ve learned so far. Answer your question A reminder of you victories? Beowulf lying down when Grendel comes for him. Battle W Grendel- Lines Youtube Track 3,1-6: Iron and blade instead of sword

Notebook Item #17 Today you will read and summarize lines Get into a group of 2-3 to accomplish this notebook item. Remember that you each need to do your own writing in your own notebooks to receive credit. Summarize what is happening in each section (five summaries total since you will do two for section 12). Some summaries will be longer than others as they may cover more ideas rather than spending a long time one detail in particular. After you finish the reading and summarizing, come up with at least two discussion questions connecting to what we have covered in the story today (you will potentially ask these during our Socratic Seminar. What do we draw from the fact that Unferth lends Beowulf the sword for defeating Grendel’s Mom (Hrunting) “But Beowulf longed only for fame,” (605)- How are we similar. Is there any life without legacy? “What is significant about the fact that he used no weapon or armor last time, but did this time?

Notebook Item #18 After reading “Slaying Your Inner Dragons,” respond to the following questions. Which of the Seven Dragons would you say you have vanquished or otherwise overcome. What steps did you take? What the current “Dragon” you feel you struggle with the most right now? How have you sought to defeat it in your life? What can we learn from Beowulf’s monster slaying, even if ours aren’t literal? How did our hero prepare and proceed in his conquests?

Notebook Item #19 What are the similarities and differences from Beowulf’s fight with the dragon and The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug. What ideas from the Beowulf epic do you think Toilken borrowed for his story(ies)? Tolkien described Beowulf as one of the "most valued sources" for The Hobbit.[9] Certain descriptions in The Hobbit seem to have been lifted straight out of Beowulf with some minor rewording, such as when each dragon stretches out its neck to sniff for intruders.[10] Likewise, Tolkien's descriptions of the lair as accessed through a secret passage mirror those in Beowulf. Other specific plot elements and features in The Hobbit that show similarities to Beowulf include the title thief as Bilbo Baggins is called by Gollum and later also by Smaug, and Smaug's personality which leads to the destruction of Lake-town.[11] Tolkien refines parts of Beowulf's plot that he appears to have found less than satisfactorily described, such as details about the cup-thief and the dragon's intellect and personality.[12] By his naming his sword "Sting" one can see Bilbo's acceptance of the kinds of cultural and linguistic practices found in Beowulf, signifying his entrance into the ancient world in which he found himself.[13] This progression culminates in Bilbo stealing a cup from the dragon's hoard, rousing him to wrath—an incident directly mirroring Beowulf, and an action entirely determined by traditional narrative patterns. As Tolkien wrote, "The episode of the theft arose naturally (and almost inevitably) from the circumstances. It is difficult to think of any other way of conducting the story at this point. I fancy the author of Beowulf would say much the same."[14]

Hook Notes Notebook Item #20 1. Unusual detail 2. A strong statement
The following are some options we have as writers to “hook” the reader at the beginning of any paper. Some work better with informative/argumentative writing, but all will help you at some point. Please copy down each type with definitions if necessary. You may want to leave a line for an example which I will share in the next few minutes. 1. Unusual detail 2. A strong statement 3. Quotation 4. Anecdote: A short, amusing, and attention-getting story. Must get to the point quickly and should be easily understood by most audiences. 5. A Statistic or Fact. 6. Question: This should be an interesting, thought provoking question.

Unusual detail: 2. A strong statement: 3. Quotation:
In the U.S., a person can mail a coconut. All you need is proper postage and an address. Americans are the most hateful group of people in the history of the planet. "Our greatest fear should not be of failure, but of succeeding at things in life that don't really matter.” Best selling author Francis Chan once said this and…

4. Anecdote: 5. A Statistic or Fact: 6. Question:
On New Year’s Day, a concerned neighbor in Appleton, Wisconsin called to report possible child abuse. When police arrived to remove the woman's children because of a complaint that she had given her 11-year-old daughter a "swirlie" (Holding her head in a flushing toilet), the woman reportedly said, "I haven't had a vacation in 13 years. Go ahead and take them!" According to MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Drivers), around 1.5 Million Americans are charged with drunk driving per year. In countries like Egypt and Saudi Arabia, the number is around 1 per year. In these countries, the penalty for a DUI is a death by firing squad. Weak Example: “Have you ever had a bad day?” Better Example: “What is the most difficult experience you have ever had to go through?”

Senior Paper Work Day #1 Today you will write your intro (even if you decide to change it later). This should include a hook, a guiding question, and your claim (the answer to this question). Once you have completed this, begin the outline for the rest of you paper using your annotated bibliography as a resource. Come conference with me when you have this done or as you need help during the process. I’m here to help you!

Senior Paper Work Day #1 What should an intro look like in a 6-8 page research paper? -Hook -Question -Claim Paragraph #2 sometimes functions as intro #2. It may need to get into background knowledge and definitions depending on technical nature or expert understanding of your particular topic. CTE example.

Mini Lesson #2 Evidence (Concrete Details) and Warrant (Commentary) Please get your Chromebook as well as the calendar/rubric I gave you last class. Ge

How does this image represent your senior paper

Step 1: Claim A topic sentence (C) is the top bun of a hamburger -First sentence in a short answer/paragraph response or body paragraph in an essay. -Usually the last or second to last sentence of intro paragraph for in an essay.

Example Claim(s)(C) Example Lit. Analysis Claim (for whole essay): In the fairy tale Cinderella, the main character is forced to endure various forms of psychological trauma including subversive manipulation, physical abuse, and abandonment issues. Example Body Paragraph Claim: Cinderella is manipulated by many people in her story, but none is more seditious than the way she is treated by her step-mother.

Step 2: Evidence/Concrete Details
Evidence (E) is the meat of the hamburger Evidence looks like Facts Quotes Examples Evidence cannot be argued with. We can, however, have different interpretations of the evidence and how to apply it.

Example Evidence (E) 2. After her father’s passing, Cinderella’s step-mother, Lady Tremaine, forces her new custodial daughter to do all of the cooking and cleaning while allowing her biological daughters to pursue leisure rather than work (Perrault 41).

Step 3: Warrant/Commentary (W)
Warrant/Commentary (W) are the extras on the hamburger – cheese, lettuce, onion, etc. they compliment the meat. Warrants are your Analysis Interpretation Insight into the data

Example Warrant/Commentary (W)
3)These chores take vast amounts of time and keep the protagonist secluded and friendless. 4) As Cinderella grows more isolated, Lady Tremain is able to pile on even more work since her step-daughter has nowhere to go and no one to see anyway.

CHUNKING A combination of E and W is called a “chunk”
For research and lit. analysis, you will mostly use a combination (or ratio) of 1:2 For every 1 sentence of Evidence you should have have 2 Warrants

1 Chunk = 1 E + 2 Ws For example, Cinderella must do all of the cooking and cleaning for her family. These chores keep her isolated and friendless. The stepmother is thus able to give Cinderella even more work, which prevents her from going to the ball. Ratio = 1:2

Inverted Pyramids Keep in mind while you are writing these paragraphs that you are going to start with general ideas and then get more specific. C E W

Step 4: Conclusions (C) A concluding sentence (CS) is the bottom bun of the hamburger C Wraps up the paragraph Rephrases the main idea Echoes the intro (of the paragraph or paper) It should not be identical to the Claim Papers are really a sandwich within a sandwich. Sub with mini-sammies

Example Conclusion (C)
5)Because of these harsh actions, Cinderella is taken advantage of by the very person should love, protect, and support her most following the tragic loss of both parents.

Example Lit. Analysis claim:
In the fairy tale Cinderella, the main character is forced to endure various forms of psychological trauma including subversive manipulation, physical abuse, and abandonment issues. The first body paragraph should look something like this… Cinderella is manipulated by many people in her story, but none is more seditious than the way she is treated by her step-mother. After her father’s passing, Cinderella’s step-mother, Lady Tremaine, forces her new custodial daughter to do all of the cooking and cleaning while allowing her biological daughters to pursue leisure rather than work (Perrault 41). These chores take vast amounts of time and keep the protagonist secluded and friendless. As Cinderella grows more isolated, Lady Tremain is able to pile on even more work since her step-daughter has nowhere to go and no one to see anyway. Because of these harsh actions, Cinderella is taken advantage of by the very person should love, protect, and support her most following the tragic loss of both parents.

Senior Paper Work Day #2 Today you will begin/continue writing your body paragraphs (completing pages 1-3 by next class to keep on pace). This should include everything we talked about today. Come conference with me as you need help during the process. I’m here to help you! Look at Sonoma Valley High School Senior Project Stuff

Mini Lesson #3 Transitions, Organization, and Citation

Example Lit. Analysis claim:
In the fairy tale Cinderella, the main character is forced to endure various forms of psychological trauma including subversive manipulation, physical abuse, and abandonment issues. The first body paragraph should look something like this… Cinderella is manipulated by many people in her story, but none is more seditious than the way she is treated by her step-mother. After her father’s passing, Cinderella’s step-mother, Lady Tremaine, forces her new custodial daughter to do all of the cooking and cleaning while allowing her biological daughters to pursue leisure rather than work (Perrault 41). These chores take vast amounts of time and keep the protagonist secluded and friendless. As Cinderella grows more isolated, Lady Tremain is able to pile on even more work since her step-daughter has nowhere to go and no one to see anyway. Because of these harsh actions, Cinderella is taken advantage of by the very person should love, protect, and support her most following the tragic loss of both parents. Anybody notice any transition issues with my example claim (thesis) This would work well if I were writing a short-answer response to the question of “In what was is Cinderella manipulated in the fairy tale of her name sake?”, but doesn’t include a transition. Anybody notice any organizational issues with my example claim (even with the transition?) Do you think that mainpulation is my best point? If not, I need to switch the order of my claim. Although Lady Tremain bears the greatest responsibility for Cinderella’s abuse, she is not the only antagonist to a young girl in an unfortunate situation. Anybody notice any transition issues with my example claim (thesis) Is manipulation the best point to lead with or is there a better one somewhere?

Three Ways to cite in-text (parenthetical) correctly.
1)According to a New York Times article, 75 percent of statistics are made up on the spot. 2) When asked to provide a statistic supporting a viewpoint on a particular political issue, roughly 75 percent of students created their own “facts” to support their perspective (“Twisting the Truth”).
