Current Assignment: Students are working through the writing process of a 5-paragraph essay. They are picking a topic, developing a thesis, and finding supporting evidence. On Feb. 1 students have a choice: 1) They may come to class with an essay prepared and hand it in to me. OR 2) They may use whatever books and notes might be helpful and write an in-class essay on that day.
January: For this month, we will be working on the 5-paragraph essay.
