This week we will begin organizing our persuasive essays. Here are our tasks:
October 12: "Plus, Minus, Hmmmm?" Chart. This helps us to think about what our opponent might argue against us.
October 13: Personal story. This helps us to "hook" our readers and involve them in our writing.
October 14: Graphic organizer: This helps us decide which of our arguments is the best.
October 15 is PC Friday. Don't forget to bring your reading book!
Homework this week:
*The graphic organizer will be due on Tuesday, October 19. If you do not complete it in class, you will have to finish it at home. Also due on Tuesday, your personal story connecting you to your essay topic.
