March 8th

We took our Compare and Contrast planning page and turned our ideas into body paragraphs for the rough draft of our Compare and Contrast essay.  If body paragraphs 1-3 were not completed in class, it was homework. Most students finished. THE INTRODUCTION AND CONCLUSION IS NOT HOMEWORK!! We also began learning the Greek and Latin roots “Hydr-” and “Bio-”

In case you lost your rough draft planning page: Compare and Contrast Rough Draft Planning Sheet

The stories were posted on Monday’s blog post in case you need them. Here are the poem choices: Compare and Contrast Essay Poems
