 Today we continued assignment from yesterday. We started writing the paragraphs, one two and three. We wrote the attention grabber, the topic, claim and counterclaim.

 Today we did a writers checklist for our assignment this week. The passages where about the person on the 50 dollar bill and that we should and shouldn't change it to someone else. We picked a side and we introduced a claim. We gave 3 ideas for our claim and then the opposite reasons for them.

 Today we continued reading the color purple and moving some of the movie. We also did an assignment where we made a poem of quotes from the book

 Today we did an assignment, where we had to  find a quote from the book the color purple, the topic, analyze it and find the theme. We also read a little more of the book today.

 Today we took some notes on the eight common comma rules. A few of those rules are using the comma to separate the city and state, comma used in a quote, and comma used after an incomplete thought. We practiced using these rules in an assignment. The assignment was called "a Letter to God".
