A Note from Mrs. Neal:
Alright, y'all, I admit defeat! I will not be at school today because I need to kick this cold!
For today's TARGETs, if you were here yesterday, you will complete the TARGET provided on the template. Then, based on the areas you have identified as areas where you need to grow, you will complete at least two additional TARGETS to support that growth. (For example, if you identify that you are least comfortable with analyzing Ethos, you would add the slide called "Apply: Ethos." If you identified you feel the need to grow in the area of writing commentary, you could select from the slides titled "Deepening Analysis" or "Crafting Analytical Commentary.")
If you were absent yesterday or need to make up the writing from yesterday, you will go see Ms. Rose in C227 for your make-up work. You will need to make up the TARGETs for homework.
I hope you all have an awesome day! I'll miss you, but hopefully will be back on Friday feeling better!
