MR. SALSICH’S LESSON PLAN
Day 77

Friday, January 15


Set timer 

AN IMPORTANT NOTE 

FROM MR. SALSICH

I have read your freestyle essays so far, 

and I want to offer some advice:  

Remember that every sentence must be perfectly clear, and that your main overall point must be clearly developed, step by step, in the writing.  

If you think your writing might not be as clear or unified as it should be, you might consider using our TS-SD-CM formulas, as usual. I want you to do well on this essay, but I'm a little worried about some of the confusing writing I've seen on the blogs this week.   

Check your email this weekend, because I'm sending some private notes to some of you about your essays,  

and please send me an email if you have any concerns or questions about your essay so far.
