TODAY’S LESSON: Using Graphic Organizers for Writing Assignments

From Mr. Salsich:
Thanks, scholars, for being very serious students during study hall yesterday. I definitely noticed it. Also, congratulations for your fine work during the collaboration classes yesterday. All groups earned A's.

Reminders:
~~ Let’s do uni-tasking (as opposed to multi-tasking … “uni” means “one” in Latin)
~~ Be alert with daily class notes
~~ Letters to Mr. Salsich: thoughts, suggestions, general feedback, etc.
~~ Let’s thank each other at the end of class
