Day 17.

Happy happy Thursday to you!

We'll keep moving forward with your scholarship essays today. I will have you start by partnering/ grouping up (maybe an opportunity for TEAM SHAKE?!) to look over/ discuss your essays. Does the outline include all necessary information? Does it answer every part of the question? What can be added or taken out? What is the thesis going to be?!

This just sounds like a whole load of fun to me!
