We reviewed our essays from Friday and got two scores for our work. This is only the first essay this semester. It's not for marks. Paragraphs will be returned tomorrow. We'll be starting some novels later this week, and will begin diving into more independent work. Be sure to have your double entry journal guide with you for each class.
