I hope everyone enjoyed the three-day weekend. I got a chance to
read your "Day in the Life" papers, and I appreciated all of the
creativity and effort that many of you put into them.
This
short week, we'll work on our annotation skills -- how to make notes on
a text you're reading to help uncover an author's purpose and main
ideas. We'll continue to work on our writing skills by focusing on
outlining, using the "universal outline" tool, and then drafting a persuasive essay.
