Lesson: Today the students drafted the introduction and conclusion paragraph of their argumentative essay. They used a graphic organizer in their packet to write these paragraphs. I shared several pointers and read some sample paragraphs. The students had the rest of class to work on these paragraphs. We will continue drafting the essay tomorrow in class.
Homework: Continue working on your rough draft!
