Lesson Review

It is important to reflect on everything we covered today.

1) Can you remember the 6-traits of effective writing?
2) If you can answer question, you will know how your next writing assignemnt will be graded!

3) Do you know the difference between power 1s, power 2s, power3s?

4) What are you doing when asked to give your opinion?

5) Why is selecting p2s the hardest for writing?

If you can answer all of the above, you have a good grasp of today's work.

Social Studies
What is the difference between a direct democracy and a representative democracy?

Do not forget your newspaper article for tomorrow? What categories do you think you will use to evaluate the article?

Try putting some of your simple sentences on the blog. Maybe friends can comment on them.

Have a nice evening.

  6. Question 5: I think p2s are the hardest to select, because you have to be able to pick out the most relevant criteria. If not chosen correctly, you won't have an accurate answer to the question at hand.
