Argument and contests
For Thursday, read the introduction to chapter 20, pages 484-491 in Models for Writers. In class on Friday we started brainstorming topics for problem-solution writing in the writers notebook.
For Monday, look over the poems on Poetry Out Loud and do the assignment that will help you choose the poem you’ll eventually memorize and perform.
Contests for student writers was introduced. You’ll enter a writing contest shortly. If you want to enter a writing contest of your choice, let me know what it is.
