Week of 1/22 - 1/26/2018

We will be completing our rough drafts of our persuasive essays this week. Please remember that the rough draft is due on Tue. 1/23.

We will also be doing some in-class activities that will help us practice the craft of persuasion.  We will have a mini-debate (4-corners), practice looking at various viewpoints, and work collaboratively to make an argument around a given scenario.

If you are still missing your PSR, or do not have it signed, please let me know how I can assist you in getting this completed.  CONFERENCES ARE THIS WEEK!
