Homework for Monday 6/6

Hi everyone!

It is always a pleasure to teach you. Today was no exception. Thank you for being such a positive and supportive class to be around!

Your homework for Monday is to reread the editorial about overweight Canadians and score it according to the rubric I gave you today. You should have a grade for the lede, persuasive argument, research, paragraphs, spelling, and punctuation.

Also, think of a topic that you would like to write an editorial about. It should be about something that affects the public and that you can research from at least 3 sources.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Karen

I enjoined the class as alway,It was very helpful to remember the new words we had learned by writing sentences and then a story.
However,despite working as a group is absolutely the best way to do,if more than one person in the group has strong opinion,it's hard to put everyone in the same boat,and have no time to persuade everyone to understand and agree each other's idea,can we try next time four or three people or less in a group for writing a story,and that way we also could have more stories to share,what do you think?

Hi Irene,
I think that's a great idea and reasoning. Usually, we have broken into smaller groups like you suggested; just thought to change it up this time. Have a good weekend!
