Persuasive Essays are looking great! Many of the students finished them today and were able to print. If the essay was not finished today, it is due on Monday. If any students want me to look over their essay during the weekend, they can submit it on Google Classroom, and I will make suggestions. Oral presentations are next week, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. All students have signed up for the day they will present. The essay and the oral presentation are each worth 100 points as a summative grade.
Literature groups will continue until the end of the year, but the students are no longer required to write in their literature journal. The students have three bookmarks they will use to indicate places they want to discuss with their group. Literature groups meet every Thursday.
Enjoy your three day weekend!
