We're getting close to wrapping up our response to nonfiction essay... Today's Lesson 17 was about logical structure again - Writing Transitions and a Conclusion. We had a work session on writing transitions, and writing a conclusion. We are focusing on NOT writing "first, second, third," for transitions, and NOT just repeating what we've said throughout the essay for the conclusion. We focused on sophisticated transitions and thought-provoking conclusions.

Homework:
* Review the rubric for the response to nonfiction essay (found on Edline - will be handed out on Monday).
* Independent reading process - 60 min.
