Shortened Day-Quick Classes

Honors: Not much time for anything aside from our nonfiction group meetings.  Much better preparation on the jobs and some good discussions.  Be sure you prepare enough to generate 30 full minutes of conversation.  Couple groups did fall short today.

Be sure to have Response #2 in class tomorrow.  Use the checklist to make sure all the basic expectations are met.

Standard: You did nice work today analyzing Olivia's letter to Mayor Bloomberg.  Nice job identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the letter.   Remember, taking a position on an issue and defending it in a letter are what you will be doing.  We'll get more specific on topics in the coming days, but for now just be thinking about the important elements needed to argue effectively.  We'll keep working on them.
