Week 26: Be A Superhero...write an essay:)

Another awesome week in the books! 2nd trimester is rapidly approaching. All late or missing work is due on Wednesday. Carefully check this post for due date.

Yes, we'll be doing book "speed dating" on Valentine's Day--it's my favorite activity of the year, so prepare yourselves! 

Attendance is critical right now. I'm teaching high level argumentative essay...one piece at a time. Each day is modeling then I'll assist students as they write their own. Please come to school, please.

Extra Credit: The only extra credit available is doing a writing contest from the contest options at the back of the room or from the school newspaper. You can also redo any assignment you scored low on. Please talk to me.

As always, email with questions. Thanks for your support! Let's finish strong!!
