Wednesday: Persuasive paper due. In class, you will turn your persuasive paper into a persuasive speech by transferring your main ideas to note cards. Practice at home tonight! Persuasive presentations on Thursday and Friday in front of your classmates. We will go outside and use our new amphitheater if the weather is nice. This will be a major project grade.
Thursday: Persuasive speeches.
Friday: Second AR Test deadline! We will go to the library for the first twenty minutes of class and then continue our persuasive speeches. AR test grades will be updated over the holidays. One test taken and passed will receive a grade of 50%. Two tests taken and passed will receive a grade of 100%. Remember, you must take and pass THREE AR tests by the end of the 9 weeks to receive a score of 100% in the "AR Tests Taken" category.
HAPPY TURKEY WEEK! Enjoy your holiday and get lots of rest. Most of all, have fun and read a good book!
