English 10 September 14- September 18, 2015

Monday 9/14 Bell work #23: If you could visit another decade (ten year period) from the past 100 years, which would you choose? As always, ten sentences MINIMUM! Which means the least you should do. Grrrrr. Today we will politely listen as each person reads the first paragraph of his or her essay ALOUD. Then you will rewrite your draft, with all necessary corrections made, and turn it in for me to grade. You will follow the format I have included on the next slide. If you do not, you will automatically lose 10 points from your final grade. Yay. I cannot wait to read what you have written.
