Classwork and Homework

Today in class we talked about conclusions, how to write them, strategies to use, and things to avoid. We then practiced by writing a conclusion with a sample thesis statement and topic sentences. Lastly, we reviewed the timed writing strategy ABCDE and worked on an integrated writing prompt for practice for our integrated writing test this Friday! The PowerPoint used for today is in the link below.
