Rhetoric & Comp & MC Lit & Rhetoric – Wednesday, August 16th

Welcome back!  It was a great (if not a little sleepy) day one.  Here’s what we did.

Intro to class, completed a reading survey, talked “mindset” & thought about how it might affect us individually, notebook preview, and wrote 6 Word Slogans for this year.

Keep your mindset square and your favorite 6 word slogan for your notebooks!

Here’s to a great semester ahead full of writing, reading, and thinking.   –    Mrs. C = )
