The Friday Message - This is quite appropriate considering what has recently happened and the work we plan to do.

Claims/Warrants/Evidence - Recap

Subjects and predicates Retake - Be careful - Manty questions look similar but are different!

H/W - Final Summative Quote Sandwich - Due Fri (before class) (Into SEESAW)

Lesson Recap

Keep your claims SPECIFIC

• Strong cause/effect relationship
• Figurative language if possible
• Avoid pronouns and 'empty words' (things, we, it etc)
• Keep 'warrants' short and simple

Putting it all together.

Note: This piece would only score 3 for interpretation as it is missing the 'association techniques'
