To see the power point you will have to actually download it so mobile users you may have a rough time.

Students,

Today we peer reviewed the essays that we wrote on Friday. I hope that you all gained some insight into what you and your peers have the ability to produce. I hope you extracted strategies and techniques from reading others papers that you can then apply to your own, or possibly some strategies that you will make sure you do not use.

Reminders:

Benchmark EOC is on February 24th!
