Today we worked on our introduction and 1st body paragraph. You need to do any research on your own at home for your intro- we will not have the chromebooks to use. Please follow the 'My Papa's Waltz' format for the essay- look at your own essay and any comments I made, and look at my essay posted on our website.
Reminder- When we peer edit on Tuesday, you need to have your poem/ song printed or written out so the reviewer can read it before they read your essay.
Homework: Complete introduction and 1st body paragraph. Tomorrow we will be working on 2nd/ 3rd body and conclusions.
