Today you received a lot of additional material about AAE including essay questions and some sample high scoring student responses. Please make sure you take the time to read these…they should give you a lot to think about.
Also, a GREAT homework activity when you feel like a break from writing paragraphs and essays is to spend 5 minutes planning essays.
Look at the prompt and…

2. Write a contention for the essay
3. What 3-4 ideas would you base your paragraphs on (& what evidence/examples would you use)
