Language Arts 12/7-8

Today we examined a mentor text to guide us through writing our character essay.  It followed the boxes and bullets structure we studied last week.  If you missed class today, ask me for a copy of this example essay.

Then, we started writing the character essay.  This is written using the same claim and three pieces of evidence you developed last week.  A complete rough draft of this essay is due on Friday, though there will be class time on Wednesday/ Thursday to work on it.
