In all classes today, we were involved in an argumentative form. In first and third hour, you had to write your nominating essay for educator or employee of the year. If you have not had it checked by me - and remember it is only 3-4 paragraphs to convey how this person has impacted your personally and school-wide - you have 2 options: if you intend to nominate this person, then you will need to share it with me prior to the deadline and add a message on what you want me to do to help you with this nominating essay; if you do not intend to nominate, then show me the essay during the first 20 minutes of class on Thursday. For fourth hour, we reviewed claim, evidence, and warrant - in a very expedited fashion to set-up the educator/employee argument that you will be working on in class tomorrow. Since we are on a deadline with this essay, you are more than welcome to work on this tonight or at least have an outline and plan ready to go. For seventh hour, you had the time to finish the essay and receive evaluation.
And since I did this for AP Lit (and it is partially on the board as well), here is the plot for the next 2 weeks of school and our return from break. Fourth hour is a tad behind, but they shall catch up at some point:
