Character may be manifested in the great moments, but it is made in the small ones.

Language Arts: Today we began work on our writing sample. Students will have almost four days in class to write an essay demonstrating their writing proficiency through the persuasive mode. Students began this process by choosing a topic and completing a pre-write/outline.

HW: If students did not complete the pre-write in class, they should finish it up at home.
Also, remember that Chapter 3 reading and notes need to be completed by Monday (3/5). Students who want an extra opportunity in making a connection to the text need to submit it by Wednesday (3/7).
