Writing Day

Hello People!

Today we work to finish constructing our essays.  This is a process. Work independently and quietly.  Use the feedback from yesterday to help navigate your structure, your content, your evidence, and your claims.  Use all resources that we have explored throughout the unit - your charts, notes, annotations, and rough draft.  You need to make changes.  Proofread.  Spell-check.  Spacing.  All of this matters.
