I’m back (and feeling much better than yesterday!).

Remember, I have been out because of surgery, so if you turned something in late, I  haven’t graded it yet. Grades will definitely be updated for Grade Check on Monday, but don’t freak out if your late work doesn’t get graded immediately.

Today, we finished the pre-writing for our persuasive paper.

I went and talked to each individual writer and helped find a focus for the LOGOS based on the thesis.

I have got to say that I was really super impressed with the way the 1st (other than Zach’s nap attempt) and 2nd worked today (I haven’t gotten to third block yet). You guys had GREAT thoughts and helped each other out. I got teacher goosebumps a few times.

The better you do with your pre-writing, the easier it will be to write your essay tomorrow.

Tomorrow, we are going to figure out a text structure to use (organization) and then write the essay.
