During third hour, Eric, Logan, and Morgan took on THE PODIUM. They each delivered impromptu speeches and tried to control their body movements. Eric convinced us to make the best of those "once in a lifetime days." Morgan enthusiastically sold us an amazing blanket that doubles as an absorbent mop. Sham-snuggie? I am definitely going to buy the neon orange one. And Logan persuaded us to never, ever venture near a pizza oven. We definitely should just rely on the guys at Dominos. They know what they are doing.
Great job! Improvements were seen by all!!
HOMEWORK:
1) Finish intro outline and draft of persuasive essay
2)Write transition to thesis of persuasive essay
3)Make power point or video (this is from the class requirements page)
During hour four, Adam delivered a presentation on his "mom approved" book, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens. He shared some great excerpts and insights from the book. He said we all should read it. And I think he didn't like to admit his mom was right about the book : )!! Thanks, Adam!
Next week, Jared is up with his book presentation. I predict it will be fantastic.
Lastly, we chose what we wanted to focus on for the Christmas party. Logan wants to have his hand in most things.
