What's Going On?! Essay Writing and All That...

Hi Friends,

Most of you worked pretty well with our persuasive essay writing task today - great job!!

Reminder, your topic, thesis statement, and three reasons + counterarguments (as per the outline in the Share Folder) are to be completed by Monday, Dec 2.  

 **If this is not done on time, you will be behind the work I have planned -- to move into body paragraphs and conclusion writing next week.

Today was a pretty solid work period, and many of you met with me, to go over tightening up your initial argument -- well done! Tomorrow, we will discuss what makes an effective paragraph and then, you will be given two more in-class work periods (Monday + Tuesday).

My goal is to have a 1st draft DONE by Thursday, Dec 5.

 In other news, homework help for Grade 8s was offered today, and here's a photo of how many people showed up... 😝So, yeah...
