Happy New Year!!!

Time is ticking until we return. Your persuasive essays - no exceptions - will be completely due Tuesday, January 5th (A) or Wednesday, January 6th (B). This includes everything we have done with the essays (the steps, the model, the persuasion map, the rough draft, peer editing, final copy).

I'm excited for the new year with the amazing Team 7A and can't wait to see all of the improvements yet to come. Make a resolution to be proactive and become a wonderful student, if not already!
