Welcome! Please check Aeries this week; Friday is the last day of the quarter and progress reports will be sent. If you're missing any work, please turn it in for at least partial credit.
This week we'll finish the third of three debates/discussions we've had in class about current events related to issues in The Grapes of Wrath. For each one, an outline with your response to the prompt for each issue will be completed. We'll master the skill of writing a good persuasive outline with the blueprint given in class (and in the right hand side of this website). Next week, students will have a choice as to which one they will write out into a persuasive (argument) essay.
