Welcome back and happy Monday!
After receiving new seats we got down to business on some SpringBoard lessons. We quickly reviewed the homework (page 63 and 80-81) then you completed a quickwrite about the prompt from #5 on page 64. Then, we reviewed the Elements of Argument on page 68, read the Student Example and identified each of the Elements in the piece.

HW: Your homework is to revise your quickwrite so that it includes each of the Elements of Argument. (Bottom of page 68.)
