Did not meet competency: Rubrics distributed. Re-read your essay. Read it out loud, quietly, to yourself. What do you see that needs to be changed? What do you need to add? What should be taken out? Ms. Wright will conference with all students individually.

Met competency: Use the CRAAP test to find an article/source that strengthens your argument. Revise two paragraphs by adding another ES from the article. See the Purdue OWL for a guide on creating a Works Cited page.

Homework:
~Essay revisions: Re-submit via Google Classroom by April 8, or I will enter 60% as the score in the grade book. Send me an email when your essay is ready for me to re-read.

~Bring your independent reading book tomorrow so that I can look it over. It should be a work of fiction or narrative nonfiction. Your only homework over spring break will be to read for at least 5 thirty-minute sessions. (I will, too!)
