We lost second period today due to the student of the month assembly. Second period students will have to complete the assignment over the weekend.
I started class by showing students a video clip about the 50th anniversary of the JFK assassination, and I answered student questions about the event.

Next, we worked on the conclusion paragraphs of our essays. I went over instructions on their purple instruction sheets. Students recorded the information onto the essay outlines (blue sheets). See Wednesday's blog for instruction sheets and organizers.
Here are two examples of papers that students wrote last year. Be careful, the first essay's conclusion paragraph has flaws.

Homework is to finish the entire essay outline packet for Monday. Monday we will write our rough drafts, edit, and pass in the final drafts on Tuesday.
