UN DAY

H/W

You need a finished working draft of your  UN Day slide for WEDNESDAY (this is a change for what I said in class today). This means that you have collected, written, thought out what you are going to do. Perhaps even drawn/designed it on a piece of paper - All you will need to do tomorrow  is create the final slide/ record the 8 sec  clip etc.


Write the thesis statement for your final essay on the blog's wallwisher. This will be your last essay on persuasive writing. Make sure it is a topic that you KNOW something about.   If you have a strong thesis, the essay will be easy to write.
