We went to the library today and then evaluated an argumentative essay written by someone else and re-evaluated our reasoning in our body paragraphs.  We then discussed effective hooks for introductions and planned out our introduction. We were given some time to continue with our body paragraphs if we were not done with them.  If you did not finish in class, introduction and all body paragraphs need to be complete by Thursday BEFORE class begins!
