Homework:
1) Finish the Overview of the Writing Process worksheet at home and come next week prepared to discuss the remaining points.
2) Read Williams Lesson 4: Write 4.1: 2,4; 4.2; 2,4; 4.6: 2,4,6. Be sure to write your revisions out completely, either on paper or in digital form for discussion in class.
