Good evening parents and students. Last night we had a great Open House and I was so excited to meet all of the wonderful parents and to hear that this blog is beneficial for both the students and the parents. Today in class, we completed the analysis of the argumentative essay below in our SWAG Books. If you were absent, please be sure to complete the following text notations below on the text in your SWAG Book. This essay will be a point of reference once we begin writing argumentative essays. Once you have completed the annotations, complete the second part of the assignment "A Strong Argument", which follows the essay. Have a great 3-day weekend!!
