Last week we spent some time learning about how writers create engaging hooks. Today, you will apply that learning and make a set of flashcards that you can use to help you study each of the hooks.
Next, you will review the parts of a narrative essay and create an outline for an essay (but you will not write the essay).
Finally, you will prepare and give an oral explanation of your process for getting ready to write. You will be able to choose to refer to any of the writing you have completed this year.
