Wow - a snow day in April... funny how the concept of a snow day is how the persuasive writing unit was introduced (view Rick Mercer's Snow Day rant). The rough draft of the student's persuasive writing is DUE on Monday. Many students have submitted their essays already but everyone is encouraged to check their work this weekend and make changes if necessary. Miss McCabe has been making notes, comments, and suggestions for improvement on students' essays so students should be fixing up these revisions before Monday as well.Finally, students should be using the persuasive writing checklist while drafting their work. This is the checklist we will be using to grade their papers. Happy persuading!
