Today was a REALLY easy day. We worked on Persuasion Techniques – Ethos, Pathos, and Logos with a small worksheet packet. This should just be a review for you, and this gives you guys time to work on late work or finish you memoir (essay from the house foldable).

Thanks to Second Block for being on task when the visitors came by! 🙂
