Hello!

Remember: All Amish Acres permission slips and money due by this Thursday, May 15!!

P. 1,4: Today we began a pilot of a new writing program PHM will be adopting next year. We have been working on Barefoot Bandit materials, so I am working that into the writing curriculum. Today was all about gathering evidence from various articles and attaching that to the informational videos. We also continued with Tom Sawyer.

P. 2,5,6: Today students prepared for the Declaration of Independence assessment by taking a closer look at ethos, pathos, logos. We viewed relevant commercials and then discussed how we saw these persuasive techniques being used in the DOI. For the assessment, go over your notes on pg. 83 of you Persuasion book and rewrite the important point of each section into your study guide.
H/W: DOI assessment tomorrow.

See you tomorrow!
