SSJ Writers Mark Homework DUE: January 27, 2021

 I am SO happy that you were able to work with the amazing guest teacher, Mr. Pablo. Not all of my students are lucky enough to have a class with him. He is my favorite guest teacher and very hard to book.

Your homework is to continue with your Key Word Outline from class. As Mr. Pablo explained . . . you may not be able to KWO (key word outline) every single tidbit of info. But! Be accurate with the notes you do decide are important enough to record. 

WRITE YOUR KWO BY HAND.

We will use these very important KWOs in our next class. You will be "talking through" the info -- using just your KWOs Make sure you have plenty of wonderful KWO info because we will eventually be creating wonderful essays from the KWOs.
