You have today to work on this. Presentations begin at 8:30 on Tuesday. Be sure your group presentation is posted in CANVAS. Only one person needs to post as long as all names are on the first slide.
If you are NOT the one who posts, type a sentence telling me your topic and the name of the person who posted for the group.
Homework: Complete the draft of your own definition essay. Post it in CANVAS. In addition, bring a paper copy to class or print upon your arrival. This is for a peer editing activity on Tuesday.
This is the graphic organizer you have used in the past.
