The Art of Persuasion

The biggest thing the kids need to have on their minds right now is their persuasive essay. I told them to come up with three ideas over which to write a persuasive essay by Wednesday. On Wednesday, we'll choose one and that will be their big project for Monday and Tuesday of next week, as we learn how to build a good argument either for or against something, and write this argument in a cohesive format.

The second thing they should be concerned about is having an amazing time at Camp Tecumseh next week!! I am so pumped about this I can hardly sit still. I hope your child is excited as well. We will be discussing packing lists and stuff like that next Monday and Tuesday, so don't miss out.
