December 5th

We took notes on the differences between the fiction and nonfiction genres. We then discussed strong conclusion paragraphs and were given time to plan ours out. We were given some time to continue with our body paragraphs if we were not done with them after that.  If you did not finish in class, introduction, all body paragraphs, AND conclusions need to be complete by TOMORROW BEFORE class begins!
