Today our focus was on a couple of things. We read the Introduction from They Say I Say, which you can find here: http://www.drronmartinez.com/uploads/4/4/8/2/44820161/they_say_i_say_graff_and_birkenstein.pdf
Read it tonight if you were absent today. The goal was to apply the techniques in the Introduction to the argument essay project we are working on in class. Toward that end, we reviewed the information we gathered, set aside our biases, and, based on the information, formulated a thesis (or claim, or argument - whatever you want to call it). From there, we began outlining our essays, creating a rough plan to follow when drafting. Your homework is to complete this outline, and you can do it either on the Argument Essay Project section 4, or on the Argument Essay Outline I provided. Either way, the outline needs to be complete for class tomorrow.
Also, read for 20 minutes and pay for your copy of To Kill a Mockingbird.
