This week students will continue to work on their persuasive essays. They will write outlines and rough drafts. We'll talk about the importance of a concession paragraph, and students will write concession paragraphs about their topics. Here's a link to the pages about concession paragraphs in the persuasive essay packet.
This might be a good week to read some of the essays students wrote in previous years such as this one about an ice rink in the valley or this one about gun safety classes in schools. Reading model essays is a great way to see the big picture as we work through the steps to completing such a major essay.
