Today we began a recurring assignment that we will visit from time to time through the school year. Journal writing is another way to write, to explore connections, and consider other points of view. Today's journal prompt was a quote from Martin Luther King. His words challenge us to consider the question:what are you doing for others?
We also learned about the four types of essays and read "A Nice Place to Visit" an example of a narrative and persuasive essay.
