Homework for 3/11/19: 
 
Reading/Literature:  READ 30 minutes every night including weekends!  
Language Arts:  Argumentative essay is due Wednesday, 3/13.  
 
Students are really struggling with the argumentative essay.  Even though the information is in Google classroom, I gave each student a copy of what is expected in an argumentative essay (introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion).  I also had students put their papers into packet form:
 
1.  Argumentative Essay Framework
2.  Find Evidence (pg. 17) 
3.  How to Introduce Textual Evidence in your Essay
4.  Argumentative Essay Sample
 
Students NEED this argumentative packet, along with the green Performance Assessment book, in order to write the essay.  The essay is 4 paragraphs total.  
 
Math:  12.4 packet due tomorrow.
 
Science:  No homework
Social Studies:  Review section 3 Cornell notes and COMPLETE the summary paragraph (if not completed during class).  The summary paragraph should only be 6 or 7 sentences, including a topic sentence.  There is no concluding sentence in a summary paragraph.  The paragraph is written directly from the notes taken in class.
 
Have a great night.
Ms. Perris/Ms. Harrington
