Read the super-essays!


Remember to read all the student's super-essays, because we will be discussing them in class on Monday.  I want you to be able to answer the following questions about all of the other students essays. 

1) What was your favorite dress-up?
2) What was your favorite sentence opener?
3) What was your favorite decoration?
4) Did they do the bibliographic entries correctly?
5) What do you think about their topic-clincher relationship? 

Are you sure that you want to research whales instead of dolphins?
