1. Silent sustained reading
During SSR, I will pass back the 3 x 5 cards with your persuasive letter topics. If your card says "See me" at the top, that means that I have questions about your topic and/or intended audience. If so, talk to me, then turn the card over and write down your revised topic and/or audience in a way that resolves my questions, then turn the card in again in order to get credit for having your topic approved.
2. Today's poem
"Sir, Say No More" by Trumbull Stickney
3. Prewriting for your Persuasive Letter
There are 10 prewriting steps that I want you to respond to in writing before you begin drafting your persuasive letter. Please be thorough in thinking through the prewriting before you begin drafting your letter. This will take us more than one day, so do not start drafting your letter until we finish.
