Humanities

Today we went over the body paragraph format. Here are the notes and some examples:

 

Tomorrow we will have a double period of Humanities to work on our body paragraphs. Great job on your intros!

Humanities

Today we worked on introduction paragraphs. If you did not finish your introduction, it is homework and must be done for tomorrow.

Your essay will be due on Monday next week. This means you need to use your class time, get feedback, and use editing strategies to really knock it out of the park this week. Do not forget to use your two teachers for editing.

Good luck and have a good night!
