For your Peer edits, you need to share with your 3 o'clock partner for #4 and your 9 o'clock partner for #5. While peer editing make sure you use the "Suggest" feature for any changes you make. While writing your second and third (final) drafts be sure you make changes based on the suggestions of your peers.
Follow the directions carefully in order to accurately complete the assignment. We will be going over the directions in class today and you will have time to work & finish it on Friday. I will not be in class on Friday so I am expecting that you follow all directions from the substitute and work diligently on completing this assignment. If you finish early you may work on your Europe Map Packet
This is a graphic organizer that may assist you in understanding the Toulmin Method of Argumentative writing.

Hello ladies and gentlemen,
Today in class we reviewed the California Quiz from last week and went over the answers. After that we participated in an interactive activity where you had to take a stand (agree or disagree) with 18 statements (we only actually covered 10 in class). If you were absent today you need to complete the alternative assignment to gain credit (Explained below) in order to receive credit for today's activity. After we finished our interactive activity we took some short notes on the Toulmin method of argumentation.
Don't forget about your North America Map test on Monday!!!
Have a good weekend ladies and gentlemen,

Hello ladies and gentlemen,
Today in class we had a few things that we accomplished. First we took our California Quiz, covering the primary topics and information that was discussed and read over the past couple of weeks. Remember that this was a quiz and that if you want to retake for improved credit you may do so by making an appointment with me for tutorial later this week or early next week. You are eligible for a retake if you received a 13/18 or less.
After the California Quiz you had a few minutes to work on, finish, and turn in your Watershed Activity to Google Classroom. Make sure that if you did not do this in class you turn it in ASAP for late credit (better than NO credit!).
Once we finished those activities we began our discussion on Population, which is our next major unit. We watched a short video and discussed it while taking notes and asking questions.
Hope you had a great day ladies and gentlemen!
