First and seventh periods prepared persuasive presentations as part of a two-day anticipatory set for our very short persuasive writing unit. They prepared persuasive arguments in an effort to win a bit of free time at the end of class next week. Second period is one day ahead, having completed the contest today.

Fourth period worked on their Maycomb County News articles.

Homework
