English: Students did a wonderful job this week writing their argumentative essays. Between writing workshops and peer editing; students really grasped the concept of persuasive writing, and I want to commend them for how well they worked learning this new material. Mrs. Kauffman, our technology integrator, was equally impressed while students were practicing a persuasive writing module in the computer lab this past Tuesday.
